Ryutaro and Tadashi wanted to combine two words to form the band name; something artificial and something natural. After trying a few combinations, they decided on ‘Plastic Tree’. Formerly, there were rumours floating around the web about the band’s name coming from Fake Plastic Trees but this was always disputed due to timing inconsistencies.
In the beginning, Plastic Tree were influenced greatly by The Cure. There was also a large britrock influence. Plastic Tree played a mix of indie rock, punk, and heavier grunge, characterized by Ryutaro’s generic Visual Kei voice and gloomy lyrics. They went through a period where they played more pop-rock and radio-style rock music, although they have recently returned from lighter music to their original roots.
In July 2006, Plastic Tree embarked on their first world tour that took them to Germany, France and Finland.
On the 23rd of February 2009, Sasabuchi Hiroshi left the band and was later replaced by Satou Kenken..

Plastic Tree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いつも通りの僕になる
窓も全部塞いだし
ドアにはちゃんと鍵も掛けました
来る明日を拒んだら
滅ぶのが決まりだよ
ふたりしかいない国
作った○と△と□
記憶の城壁 たてこもり眠る
積み木みたいに優しい嘘を
積み上げた恋はもう
崩れていって 色とりどりの
ココロがいくつも散らかるだけ
枯れ落ちる言の葉で
くずかごは過去だらけ
捨てられない気持ちなら
ゆっくり火にくべて忘れましょう
深くて冷たい夜の底でただ
借り物の愛に包まって眠る
燃えてく日々の灰が降る夢で
埋もれてく僕がもう
見えなくなって 居なくなっても
こゝろの形は残ってほしい
積み木みたいに優しい嘘を
積み上げた恋はもう
崩れていって 色とりどりの
ココロが散らかるばかり
燃えてく日々の灰が降る夢で
埋もれてく僕がもう
見えなくなって 居なくなっても
こゝろの形は残ってほしい
残って 残って
残って
気がつけば さびしんぼう
大丈夫 寂しさとか慣れるから
The lyrics of "さびしんぼう" by Plastic Tree convey a sense of loneliness and the singer's struggle to cope with it. The opening lines, "Exaggerated loneliness, I become my usual self," suggest that the singer is familiar with feeling lonely and has grown accustomed to it. They have closed themselves off from the world, shutting the windows and locking the door, rejecting the arrival of tomorrow.
The lyrics also mention the creation of a country with three symbols, representing only two people. This could symbolize the isolated world that the singer has created for themselves, a place where they can hide away from the loneliness. They seek solace in the corners of distant and quiet nights, building walls of memories to take refuge in. But their constructed love, built upon gentle lies like building blocks, crumbles away, leaving behind scattered and colorful hearts.
The second verse further portrays the singer's struggle with the past and their inability to let go. They describe a wastebasket filled with memories and suggest slowly burning them away to forget. They find temporary comfort in borrowed love, wrapping themselves in it as they sleep in the depths of a deep and cold night. The dream of ashes falling from the burning days buries the singer, making them gradually disappear, but they still long for their heart's shape to remain, even if they are no longer visible.
Overall, "さびしんぼう" explores the themes of loneliness, isolation, and the difficulty of letting go. It reflects on the singer's coping mechanisms and their desire for some form of permanence in their heart, even in the face of disappearing.

さびしんぼう翻成寂寞的人其實蠻恰當的，當初Ammonite還未發台壓之前我自己也是翻成"寂寞的人"分享給不懂日文的其他朋友 只是台灣在進口國外唱片時大多會把歌名翻得"歌名"一點 畢竟唱片公司的翻譯人員不見得是歌迷啊~~~不能完全理解每首歌的意境後再作翻譯 ぼう的說法就有點類似我們台灣在說的"傢伙"或是貪吃鬼的那個"鬼" さびしい就是孤單寂寞的意思^^ 以上是我個人淺見啦>___<

雖然台壓一般都譯得亂糟糟, 但我覺得這次譯做「孤單鬼」也不錯呀 (不過我只買了日版, 不知歌詞譯到怎樣) 像上面的comment所寫, ぼう有「傢伙」的意思, 太朗選這個字, 而不用「寂しい人」或者「寂しがり屋」, 應該是有點自嘲戲謔的意思, 如果只是譯做「寂寞的人」就沒了原意 所以最後那句「気がつけば、さびしんぼう／大丈夫、寂しさとか慣れるかな」我覺得是自己跟自己說的, 是自己問自己「你這傢伙注意到寂寞這回事是能夠習慣的沒有」那樣, 只是語氣比較溫柔(他是太朗嘛ww) 我日文也很差, 不知對不對XD|||
