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 ↴
かなり経ったよって笑っていた
いつになったら弾いて
もらえるのかって? 知らないよ
伝えたい事なんて
一つもなくて 弾けないんだ
どうしても言えなくて
我慢出来なくて苛立った
僕の前からあたなはきっと消えてく
逃げたくて買った切符は
ポケット中囁いた
それじゃ君はいつも独り
伝えたい思いは
情けない今 絵空事
どうしても言えなくて
我慢出来なくて苛立った
傷ついて痛がって ガラス細工を
あなたはずっと見つめる
逃げたくて買った切符は
ポケット中囁いた
それじゃ君はいつも独り
――誰も来ない駅 ただ待つ
誰も来なくても ただ待つ列車――
傷ついて痛がって
感情過多でもあなたときっと歩める
逃げたくて買った切符は
ポケット中泣き出した
そして僕ら向かう 駅に
最終列車は出る僕らだけ乗せて
ほら ずっとずっと行くよ

ねぇ 夕暮れ たそがれ ビードロの街 残ったまんまの忘れ物があるんだ
また胸の奥たたく声は君だよ 砕けないように想いをギュッと押さえなきゃ
名を呼び合い 名を告げ合い ぐるぐる回る惑星で 君と僕 会えた事
涙こぼれたら何がなくなるの？ サヨナラ溶けたら何が残るかな？
言葉にならない想い ひとしずく 冷たく乾いて 少しだけ苦いな
もう 宵闇 思い込み セロハンの街 無数の光の中で交わしたお別れ
あの指切りしたあと 嘘つきの指 ささくれ出来て今でもちょっと痛いよ
散らばってくスケッチを両手であわてて拾うよ 似てないな 君の顔
涙こぼれたら忘れてくのかな？ カナシミ溶けたらちゃんと見えるかな？
きらめく世界で揺らめくカゲロウ 冷たく乾いて 消えてく手 握って
月より風吹きかき消されてくけど ハレルヤのように君まで届いてよ
ねぇ 今どこで何してるんだろう？ 教えてよ
涙こぼれたら何がなくなるの？ サヨナラ溶けたら何が残るかな？
言葉にならない想い ひとしずく 冷たく乾いて 消えていくよ ほら
例えば 世界が嘘でデタラメで出来てたとしても たぶん気にしないよ
