Plastic Tree is a rock band from Japan that was formed in December 1993 by Arimura Ryutaro and Hasegawa Tadashi. Since then, the line-up has changed a few times before settling on Ryutaro on vocals, Tadashi on bass, Nakayama Akira on guitar and Satou Kenken on drums. Tadashi is the leader but most decisions are made as a group.
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.

v I was just about to post about "Ame ni Utaeba" in Tent too XD, it's... just... so .... amazing....... I have a feeling they're trying to semi-relive Kuro Tent 2 by playing some of the same songs (perhaps because they're having a new drummer again. And in my opinion Kuro Tent 2 is still the most solid live DVD they've released). I don't worry about Ryuutaro taking care of himself, rather I'm worried about things that he may have no control over D:

I don't worry about Ryuu. He's a big boy, he'll take care of himself. On a related note, "Ame ni Utaeba" is excellent to just soak in, when you're under the influence.

"MR STALKING Thank you so much :D" [2] "Mahiru no Tsuki" in Tent is my new favorite Pura live DVD performance *_____* I think there are some really stellar moments in Tent... but it really does bother me that Ryuutaro's live singing voice gets weaker over the years. Honestly, like in "Himitsu no Carnival", the intro was really amazing, but when Ryuutaro starts singing, he could really get to the same energy level :'( ...... I'm kind of worried about him...

@MR_STALKING: Wow, I DO love puppet show too, and if you say that, then... wow xD *speechless*! mmm, yeah, Zero is not my fav, although I liked the way they started with Nemureru Mori (and those shadows that reminded me to the video of "Boys don't cry"). ~ xD I need to see that, BTW I never realized Nekozirushi was a girl until I saw the intro for Tent D:

@Stellarsky__: It's pretty touching. I enjoy hearing it even more live, than I do on Puppet Show, and I *LOVE* Puppet Show. The rest of the show is really stellar. This is by far my favorite DVD of theirs that I've seen/that I own. Zero has *nothing* on Tent. I always hated the mixing on ZERO, and they really stepped up the mixing job on Tent. The band member session was fun too. and Nekozirushi dancing is cute as all get out.

I'm doing Tent mp3 rips, so you all can listen to it as an album on Winamp/iTunes. I feel like I'm doing my part as a fan, and as an owner of the new DVD, which, by the way is beautiful. I cried during Fukurou/Utsusemi. Powerful imagery and sounds. Anyway, who is up for mp3 rips?
