OSHABURI Brings Chaotic Energy to Streaming with Debut Mini-Album
Visual kei band OSHABURI has released their first mini-album Sasshohenaikainjoron on digital streaming platforms after previously offering it only at live shows. The seven-track project channels childlike chaos through playful arrangements and vocalist Rika's distinctive vocal style.

Visual kei band OSHABURI has finally brought their debut mini-album Sasshohenaikainjoron to digital streaming services, making the project available worldwide after months of exclusivity at live venues. Originally released physically only at shows, the album dropped digitally on June 28 and clocks in at under 20 minutes across seven tracks.
The mini-album opens with a music box intro that flows directly into "cute aggression," a track that showcases everything OSHABURI does best. Vocalist Rika's childish, playful vocal delivery sits atop heavy guitar and bass work from guitarists Ill and Zeno alongside bassist Kaeru. Bright, colorful synths layer over the dense instrumental foundation, creating arrangements that feel spontaneous and imaginative—like watching a child's world unfold sonically.
Composer-wise, the album maintains relentless chaotic energy throughout most of its runtime. Nearly every moment pulses with fast-paced, playful instrumentation that mirrors the band's distinctive childlike visual aesthetic. The music video for "cute aggression" captures this perfectly, blending their whimsical appearance with action-packed visuals that match the track's frenetic pace.
The standout exception is "yugenshosu," which shifts toward a European-influenced ballad style. While slower than the surrounding tracks, it never loses the fun, playful spirit that defines OSHABURI's sound. Instead of abandoning their core identity, the band leans into a different texture while maintaining their signature energy.
For those unfamiliar with OSHABURI, this mini-album serves as an ideal entry point. The project's brief runtime means newcomers can experience their unique approach to visual kei without overwhelming commitment. Whether you're drawn to the childlike chaos of "cute aggression" or the colorful synth work throughout, Sasshohenaikainjoron delivers infectious, imaginative rock that feels genuinely different from typical visual kei fare.
The album is now available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, OTOTOY, Amazon Music, and iTunes.
