Plastic Tree is a Japanese rock band which formed in December 1993 in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.[1] They released their first mini-album in December 1995, and in 1997, they debuted by releasing their first single on a major label.
Biography
Plastic Tree, also known as PuraTuri (プラトゥリ?) or Pura (プラ?) to fans, was formed in December 1993. Early in their career, they frequently performed live and handed out free copies of their demo tapes.
In 1995, they released their first mini-album Kimyou na Kajitsu: Strange Fruits after changing drummers twice.
Two years later, they released their first single, "Wareta Mado", with Warner Music Japan, marking their official debut and first release on a major label.
Plastic Tree planned their first overseas tour in 2006, named the Chandelier Tour, and performed concerts in France, Germany, and Finland.
On February 23, 2009, Hiroshi Sasabuchi announced his resignation as the band's drummer after being with the band for seven years. On July 3, 2009, Kenken Sato was announced as the band's new drummer. Since forming, they have had four different drummers.
Sound and style
Early in their career, their music had heavy visual kei influences. As time went on, their sound seemed to change and evolve with every album. Due to this, the band does not think that they should be placed into any certain genre
Plastic Tree has stated that their sound has been considerably influenced by British bands such as Radiohead and The Cure
The most easily recognizable signature of Plastic Tree's music is the melodic, child-like voice of Ryūtarō Arimura. Their sound is also aided by Arimura's abstract lyrics. All four band members collaborate to write songs and lyrics, with Arimura writing most of the lyrics.
Plastic Tree's current sound revolves around alternative rock.
