Plastic Tree

In 1993 Hasegawa Tadashi and Arimura Ryutaro formed the group, Plastic tree, later enlisting Nakayama Akira on guitar and Shin on drums. They went major in 1997 and have been releaseing a steady stream of singles and albums ever since. This ever evolving band is well known for its guitar driven music and the charming vocals delivered by Ryutaro, a stark contrast to his often dark lyrics. Plastic Tree celebrated their tenth year major anniversary with several releases and a tour in 2007, which culminated with a beautiful performance at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.
