Plastic Tree is an alternative rock band from Chiba,
Japan that was formed in December 1993 by 有村 竜太朗 (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.
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.
Plastic Tree combine
alternative rock with art rock, electronic, and heavy metal.
Their sound is a blend of raw melody, with the occasional orchestral
backing track. However, the band does not think that they should be placed
into any specific genre. Plastic Tree claim that their sound has been
considerably influenced by British bands such as Radiohead and The Cure.
