AYABIE is koteosa, not osare.
@Magno Generally for the “lighter” half of visual kei, it can be said
90’s → Sofubi
00’s → Osare kei
10’s → Kirakira kei
I’m not exactly sure when to put the sofubi-osare handover, but for osare-kira I’d say 2007-2010 is the transition period like Royz debuted in 2009 but I generally consider them kirakira.
@anadentone Since Bebikin counts their debut from 2016, they’re completely the wrong generation. I’ve seen them called kirakote and though I see the makeup angle and I understand that worldview isn’t as important to a modern kote classification, personally I think their worldview is way too light for kirakote so I consider them kirakira. It could go either way, some of their looks are more kote.
