Plastic Tree is a Japanese visual kei alternative rock band, formed in December 1993 in Chiba Prefecture. They released their first mini-album in December 1995, and in 1997, they released their first single on a major label.
Plastic Tree, also known as PuraTuri (プラトゥリ?) or Pura (プラ?) to fans, was formed in December 1993 originally under the name of CAM-FLAGE. The band was renamed to NTT FUCKS then later decided on Plastic Tree, aiming for 'something abstract and natural at the same time', as Ryutaro puts it.
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, their first release on a major label.
Plastic Tree made 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 having been with the band for seven years. On July 3, 2009, Kenken Sato was announced as the band's new drummer. Since forming, the band has had four drummers.
