Some dress up like the members of visual-kei rock bands such as X Japan, Luna Sea, L'Arc-en-ciel, or Glay, and meet up in a rehearsal studio or outdoors. They strike poses in emulation of their idols and have their pictures taken. When deciding on a costume, a cosplayer has to decide which idol is truly his or her favorite.
譬如視覺系的 coser，通常喜歡扮裝成 X Japan、Luna Sea、L ' Arc-en-Ciel、Glay 等日本視覺系搖滾樂團成員，然後一群人約在練團室或戶外場景，模仿偶像耍帥擺 pose，互相留影留念。
