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 ↴
誰かが呼んでる気がして振り向いた
オルガンがどこかで響いて
ほころびた 僕のガーゼをなでた
遠く何かを願ってもキラキラと散らばってしまう
ひとり置き去りの僕はもう飽きてしまったのに
僕は知ってるんだ 終わりが来る事を
気づかないふりでこころを閉ざしても
うまく口笛が吹ける日を
待ち続けて また空を見上げた
遠く何かを願ってもキラキラと散らばってしまう
ひとり置き去りの僕はもう飽きてしまったのに
空へ堕ちる夢で目覚めて 涙があふれた
それはまるで嘘みたいだった
遠く何かを願ってもキラキラと散らばってしまう
ひとり置き去りの僕はもう飽きてしまったのに
オルガンがまた聞こえた
The lyrics to Plastic Tree's song Organ depict a sense of longing and disillusionment with the world. The opening lines describe a beautiful sky that is almost suffocating in its grandeur, with the singer feeling as though someone is calling them, causing them to turn around. The sound of an organ echoes in the distance, almost as if it is communicating with the singer personally. The song continues with the singer expressing their frustration with their inability to hold onto their wishes and dreams, which they see as fracturing and disappearing like glitter.
However, despite this feeling of emptiness and detachment, the singer still hopes for something better. They wait for the day when they can whistle a tune again, and they look up at the sky once more, even if they know that their wishes may scatter away. The song ends with the sound of the organ returning once again, as if reminding the singer of their initial sense of purpose and calling.
Overall, the song Organ is a deeply introspective and contemplative piece, exploring themes of loneliness, hopelessness, and the longing for a purpose or direction in life. It is both melancholic and hopeful, providing a poignant insight into the human psyche and our continual search for meaning and connection.
