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's Last Waltz is a beautiful and melancholic song that tells a story of a farewell. The lyrics express the feelings of a person who is about to leave and says goodbye to their loved ones, offering them beautiful dreams as a consolation. The first verse starts with Aoi (blue) ink, which possibly refers to the sky. The singer looks up at the moon and feels lost in a night that seems to swallow them. They wonder why they can hear someone's voice crying in the dark. The line "Kokoro ga seiza no you ni" means "If my emotions could be connected like constellations" paints a picture of the heart as a sky full of stars, and if they could align in a meaningful way, the person could feel more grounded.
The chorus seems to be a promise of dancing the last waltz to bind the memories and feelings with the partner in the song. The lines "Nandodemo kirei na yume dake anata ni misete ageru/Odorou yo chigiri au you ni te wo tori" mean "I will show you beautiful dreams as many times as necessary/Let's dance in a way that our hands won't separate." The second verse describes how tears of ink, maybe referring to writing or drawing, looks beautiful when they fall. The singer also tells their partners that they will take them wherever the night and darkness lead, and the cosmos sings while they hold hands.
Last Waltz is a deep and heartfelt song that confronts the theme of letting go and bearing the pain of separation. The title of the song means the last dance, suggesting it is the final moment. The lyrics are vividly descriptive and metaphorical, making it captivating and emotionally impactful. The song has a hauntingly beautiful melody and an eerie atmosphere that adds to the overall feel of the song.
