Information

Plastic Tree also known as PuraTuri, or more affectionately, Pura-chan by fans (kurage), Plastic Tree formed between 1993 and 1994. They can generally be described as alternative, although their beginnings tend to be labeled as Visual-Kei, and are often compared with Britpop bands.

The most recognizeable signature of Plastic Tree is the melodic, child-like voice of Ryutaro. It is often described as very 'ethereal', and adds to the unique quality of their music. He composes the vast majority of their lyrics, while Akira, and Tadashi generally compose their music. In recent years, there has been some dispute of the band moving in a more mainstream direction, though they still appear to be very devoted to their fans and remain faithful to their musical roots.

While it has been popularly speculated that the band's name was derived from Radiohead's song, Fake Plastic Trees, the formation of the band and the release of this song do not coincide properly. In addition, in a recent interview, Ryutarou and Tadashi have revealed the real meaning behind their name. It is also common knowledge that Plastic Tree's Rira no Ki is a 'cover' of Radiohead's My Iron Lung.

On the DVD Kuro Tent 2, many of the live names are derived from works by The Smashing Pumpkins.
