Plastic Tree

[MikuNYAPPY]

yump, I didn't find a thread for this great band! :bluush:

So yay, wich plastic tree song is your favorite?

[hebiichigo]

There was already a thread for Plastic Tree, but it wasn't named "Plastic Tree"... :lol: I think it was named "pura". I can't find it, though :\
*looks for Furan* XDD

Maybe it's good to start a new one ^_~

My favourite song is... well, they have heaps of songs... but I always loved "chiriyuku bokura" a lot :-)
Are they releasing anything soon? I have to admit I'm probably really behind in all of Plastic Tree's new and stuff :?

[furan]

lol
do you guys like... not know how to use the 'search' or something?
:poh:
XD
anyways, YAY someone watns to start a new Pura thread... howevere:
http://www.jref.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17045&page=9&highlight=pura%3F
that's the thread ^.^

[MikuNYAPPY]

ops, I didn't se the search thing. But i looked att 10 pages and i didn't find the plastic tree thread.. sorrt.. ._.
what i Pura? xO

[furan]

lol
aww, don't worry about it... i just wondered because a lot of people say they 'can't find thing' and... there's a search... ^^;
and yes... no-one ever really cares about the pura thread much cos they're not VK and *cough* 'boring'
:okashii:
HOW CAN ANYONE CALL PURA BORING!?!?!?! *cries* :(
anyways... um... yes... my apologies... i call them Pura and often forget that many a people don't know they go by that name....
see... cos 'plastic tree' is sometimes written in the katakana [can't type katakana symbols >.<] 'purastiku tori'
which fans shorten down to 'pura' and thus it's a little nickname for the band ^.^
also... if you weren't awear.... fans tend to call themselves 'kurage' as it means 'jelly fish' and Ryu once said in an inteview when asked: what would you most like to be? 'a jelly fish' and fans took to that and such....

[edit] ack :sorry: i didn't mean to post that there... please continue this thread here: http://www.jref.com/forum/showthread...hlight=pura%3F

Wow .. They since in 1995 ??

[charcoal]

from what i know they are formed since 1993 but there's some changes, they had 2 other drummers who left before the current one.

[sugoi_aki]

sigh... so u can't make it to their concert charcoal I'll be going alone T^T but still i'm very excited xDDDDDD

first i'm addicted to Ryutaro, his voice sounds childish~ and he looks younger than his real age a lot. But the more i got into them, the more I like bucchi ^^

[charcoal]

@sugoi aki - Ooo, u'll be goin!! hw great is tt!! *envys*
aniway, hav lots of fun!! & pls let us know hw was the concert.


totally agree tt Ryutaro does look much younger then his actual age, which kinda surprise me when i 1st know their age!! and i'm so addicted to Ryu's voice, jus soothing to me ~ ^_^

[sugoi_aki]

@ charcoal I'm super worried T^T I dunno mandarin and going alone... hope i wont be lost there~

I'm quite addicted to Makkana Ito (Nega To Poji Ban) too~ beautiful melody :D

[charcoal]

@ sugoi aki - so u ain't a chinese? i guess it may be alittle hard for you, since most taiwanese don't speak english, but don't worry, they are really friendly ppl, so it shldn't be a problem. Good luck!! everything will be just fine ~ ^_^

[toshiukas]

Oh, Plastic tree. Ryu.. (mm)
Favorite song is... am, "Melancholic".
But I love "Chiriyuku Bokura", "Spica" and "Rocket" too.

^^

*inlove* :bluush:

[sugoi_aki]

lol!
Hope kurage in Europe will enjoy Pura gigs there xD
it was so wonderful!

[charcoal]

@sugoi_aki - hw was the live in taiwan? (O.O)

[sugoi_aki]

@ charcoal: It was awesome! <3

My friend from Hongkong, another taiwanese friend and I waited from 4pm, the hall opened at 7:30pm. My friend wanted to stand on Akira's side. We were at the 3rd row. The distance of the 1st row and the edge of the stage was about 50cm.

There were about 300 fans or more, I was impressed cuz there were quite many fanboys as well xD The guy stood beside me was so high. When all the fans were in their position already, they started singing out 'Ryutaro', 'Akira'. I was the one screamed 'Bucchi' out loud <3 and the guy beside me was annoyed cuz no one sang out 'Tadashi' so he himself cried out 'Tadashi' super loud :D I kinda love that fandom ne!

The curtain remained still untill 8:30pm. When it was drawn, the crowd went crazy but there was no one on the stage yet :D But since Pura appeared, the crowd even went more insane. I couldn't control myself either.

Now I can't recall the order of tracklist but as I remembered, they played these songs:
- Ghost
- Spica
- Elegy
- Andorometamorufoze
- Hate red, dip it (Encore)
- Makkana Ito (Encore)
- Fujunbutsu
- Zazaburi. Zazanari
- Baka ni natta no
and some more~

Akira stood just in front of me. I was able to observe Ryu and Bucchi clearly but Tadashi was so far away T^T.

They were so enthusiastic! I guess I loved observing Bucchi most xD He looked so handsome and so much younger than in the pictures, well, not only him, they all looked much younger than in pixies. Bucchi was the one played highest. Akira's guitar solo was totally wonderful. I was like freezing just by looking at him performing. Ryu ran from Tadashi's side to Akira's side, spinning and jumping about, making many eye contact with fans. That was so lovely xD I could feel how much he cared for fans. He seemed to look through my heart <3

During the encore, Bucchi, Tadashi and Akira got quite long MCs too. Bucchi was so adorable! I completely fell in love with him xD!!!!! The last song was Makkana Ito. I cried while I was singing along with Ryu. "Sayonara~♪ ". That song sounded very sad, ya know?! T_____T

Then they said 'thanks' in chinese, well, they tried to speak some chinese during MCing too. Akira threw his guitar pick into the middle of the crowd. I was so sad I couldn't catch Bucchi's drumsticks either =[ They wandered about and extended their hands to fans. They tried to shake everyone's hand and that's how I shook hands with Ryu, Akira and Bucchi. Tadashi kept a little distance so we couldn't even touch his arm. Maybe he was shy :D

I wasn't able to sleep the whole night. The moment I closed my eyes, every Bucchi's single move, Ryu's voice, Akira's guitar solo and Tadashi's shyness were so clear as if I were still in the middle of the concert. Even now when I look at my right hand, I still feel the warmth of their hands as if I were touching them.

[Luc Lam X.U]

Ye ye , my darling , u r so lucky >"< .. can i hold ur right hand ** i wanna feel Ryutaro ^^~

[Kinsao]

Thank you so much sugoi_aki for the account of the gig! :) :cool:

I heard that Plastic Tree cancelled their concert in London! :( Does anybody know why? My friend was planning to go, but now she is going to see them in the Netherlands instead...

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Kinsao- what?! Oh man thats horrible. Someone who's not a very credible source told me yesterday, but I didn't believe it. :(

sugoi-aki- ah I'm glad you had a good time. The atmosphere of the gig seemed really cool. Thanks for the review! :D

[Kinsao]

Yeah, I read it on my friend's LJ. :sick:

[sugoi_aki]

@ Kinsao: I've heard the reason is the lack of ticketsales. Well, Diru and Gaze are touring around in London too. I'm not so sure it's true or not. But poor Pura fans in UK. I hope Pura will reschedule it for the fans.

source: last.fm | Mayu [rexy666]
Due to administrative misunderstandings the show has had to be cancelled.

This by no means, has anything to do with other bands due to play around the same time; it also has nothing to do with low ticket sales.

The circumstances involved were beyond Plastic Tree’s control but I have been assured that the band’s agent is sorry for the inconvenience and that they plan to re-schedule as soon as the problems have been resolved.

[charcoal]

@sugoi_aki- thanks for the live report !! ^^ seems like you had lots of fun ~ i wished i was there too but i missed it!! arghhh!! well, tt doesn't really matter now, since the concert seems to be a success hope they'll be back soon, so that i can catch them live!! ^^



abt London gig - sorry to heard tt it was cancelled but i believe there's goin to be another chance, so for those who planned to go, don be too disappointed. (even though i know it's hard.) cheer up guys ~ ^^

[RevengeBabyYeah]

Yeah at least they're planning to re-schedule, woo! :D
