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..

Dakara te wo tsunagou.
Kono mama de iretara naa. riyuu nanka nakute mo.
Ame no ito wo tadotta kedo, kamisama wa irusu uchi.
Chikaenai futari demo suigin no shukufuku wo.
Mechakucha ni furimawashita te.
Nani, hanashita no?
Barebare.
Sasayaite, sasayaite,
Mahou wo kakete yo.
Samenai de, samenai de,
Agatta boku no binetsu.
Mirai bakkari hanashite, kakushita no wa kyou.
Kirei na kizuato mo sawarenai mama da na.
Yami kumo ni sagashi mawatta te.
Nani, tsukanda no?
Chippoke na hikari da toshite mo,
Kamawanai.
Sasayaite, sasayaite,
Mahou wo kakeru yo.
Zawameite, zawameite,
Agatta boku no binetsu.
Sasayaite, sasayaite,
Mahou wo kakete yo.
Samenai de, samenai de,

Arifureta, arigachi na,
Mahou ga toketara,
Setsunakute, tsumetakute,

The lyrics of Plastic Tree's song "37℃" convey a sense of longing and vulnerability. The opening line, "Kirihanasu you na tenki ame," translates to "The weather, like it's about to clear up, rain." This sets the tone for the song, suggesting a desire for a change or resolution. The following line, "Dakara te wo tsunagou," means "So let's hold hands," symbolizing a need for connection and support. The lyrics continue by expressing a wish for things to stay the way they are, even if there may not be a reason for it.
The chorus expresses the longing for a magical intervention, as the lyrics say, "Sasayaite, sasayaite, mahou wo kakete yo" which translates to "Whisper, whisper, cast a spell." This plea signifies a hope for something to change or for a solution to be found. The lyrics also mention a fever, symbolizing emotional turmoil or intensity that cannot be shaken off easily. The line "Agatta boku no binetsu" translates to "My rising temperature," emphasizing the internal struggle and heightened emotions.
The later verses mention hiding wounds and secrets, suggesting a fear of vulnerability and a tendency to isolate oneself. The lyrics express a desire to speak of the future but holding back, possibly due to a fear of being hurt or disappointed. The repeated lines "Sasayaite, sasayaite, mahou wo kakete yo" and "Samenai de, samenai de, agatta boku no binetsu" reinforce the plea for magic and resolution while highlighting the singer's inability to find a resolution and move on from their emotional state.
Overall, "37℃" captures the feelings of longing, vulnerability, and the struggle to find resolution or connection amidst emotional turmoil.
