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..

Mitsukerarenai bokura kami-sama ga waratta

The lyrics of Plastic Tree's song Aoi Tori describe a beautiful, clear day where a blue bird is flying freely in the sky. The singer and the rest of humanity are unable to find the bird, and they feel as if God is laughing at them. Looking up at the sky, it seems as if the clouds are scattered and pieced together like a puzzle. The singer questions what words they can use to connect with someone special, as strong winds blow and cause the bird to soar higher and higher.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a sadder tone, with the singer's heart becoming heavier and weighed down by the sun, that shines so intensely it causes fear. The singer hears faint sounds and feels as though their heart is being pulled to the source of the noise. They wonder why everyone forgets the sound of the person they love. Finally, the sky grows dark and it begins to rain. As they look up, they feel as if they are falling into the sky.
The lyrics of Aoi Tori are full of vivid imagery and poignant emotions. They explore themes of loss, longing, and searching, while also emphasizing the beauty of the natural world. This song is a beautiful example of the power of language to convey complex emotions and ideas.

【歌詞】
蒼い鳥が飛ぶような晴れた綺麗な日です。
みつけられない僕ら、神様が笑った。
見上げたら枝のせいで空はパズルみたい。
どんな言葉で君を繋ぎとめられるの?
強い風が吹いて笑う、飛べそうになる―――。
きっと数えきれない光で、
ふたりがちぎれてくのは何故?
悲しみの蔦にからまる僕はこのまま、
このまま分からないまま。
やわらかい日溜まりでこわいほど透けてく。
太陽は反射して黒い点になった。
微かな音、耳をすます。心の底へ。
きっとただ僕らは忘れてく。
君の声が響くのは何故?
悲しみの蔦にからまる僕はここから、
ここから手を伸ばす。
雨が降った。
見上げてる僕らが空へ堕ちてく気がした。
きっと数えきれない光で、
ふたりがちぎれてくのは何故?
悲しみの蔦にからまる僕はこのまま、
このままだよ。
きっといつも君は知らなくて、
手を繋いでも遠くにいて、
悲しみの蔦がまきあがる空。
零れる光に埋もれてく、
埋もれてく―――。
蒼い鳥が飛ぶような晴れた綺麗な日です。

Plastic Tree - 蒼い鳥
詞/曲:有村竜太朗
蒼い鳥が飛ぶような晴れた綺麗な日です
好像青鳥會飛過一樣 美麗晴朗的一天
見つけられない僕等 神様が笑った
找不到我們的神笑了
見上げたら枝のせいで空はパズルみたい
抬頭仰望 因為樹枝的關係 天空好像一副砌圖
どんな言葉で君を繋ぎとめられるの？
怎樣的說話才可把你留在身邊？
強い風が吹いて笑う 飛べそうになる
強風吹著笑著 變得好像要飛起來
きっと数え切れない光で二人が千切れてくのはなぜ？
為甚麼 一定會有数不清的光把我倆撕開？
悲しみのツタに絡まる僕はこのまま このまま わからないまま
被悲傷的藤纏著的我 就繼續這樣 繼續這樣 仍然不明所以
柔らかい陽溜まりでこわいほど透けてく太陽は
因和煦的陽光重疊起來而逐漸變得可怕地透明的太陽
反射して黒い点になった
反射成一個黑點
微かな音 耳をすます心の底へ
微弱的聲音穿過耳朵直往心深處
きっとただ僕等は忘れてく 君の声が響くのはなぜ？
我們一定會這樣子淡忘 那為甚麼你的聲音還在回響？
悲しみのツタに絡まる僕はここから ここから 手を伸ばす
被悲傷的藤纏著的我 從這裡 從這裡 伸出手
雨が降った 見上げてる僕等が空へ落ちてく気がした
雨降下了 抬頭仰望的我們 感覺就要墜進天空
きっと数え切れない光で二人が千切れてくのはなぜ？
為甚麼 一定會有数不清的光把我倆撕開？
悲しみのツタに絡まる僕はこのまま このままだよ
被悲傷的藤纏著的我 就繼續這樣 繼續這樣啊
きっといつも君は知らなくて 手を繋いでも遠くにいて
你一定永遠都不知道 就算手牽著手距離仍很遙遠
悲しみのツタが巻き上がる空 零れる光に埋もれてく 埋もれてく
悲傷的藤被繚繞上升的天空 往灑落的光埋葬 埋葬
蒼い鳥が飛ぶような晴れた綺麗な日です
好像青鳥會飛過一樣 美麗晴朗的一天

苍い鸟が飞ぶような晴れた绮丽な日です
