Plastic Tree, known affectionately as Puraturi, have been active since their formation in 1993 and have maintained a devoted following well into the 2020s.

While they undeniably emerged from the so-called visual kei scene, they established a unique position with a distinctive individuality and presence, thanks to vocalist Ryutaro Arimura’s introspective, literary worldview and a sound deeply influenced from early on by shoegaze, new wave, and alternative rock—setting them apart from other bands.

Their 1999 classic “Sink” is quintessentially them: centered on a band ensemble that skillfully employs dynamics between quiet and loud, it beautifully fuses thick, layered guitar tones and a melodious bass line with fragile vocals and lyrics.

With a musical style distinct from other visual kei bands, they are unique for basing their sound on the gothic rock found in the early ’90s UK rock scene while incorporating elements from various genres.

They debuted with this song in 1997, but the members have said that at the time they didn’t feel they had a place in the visual scene.

Released in 2010, this is Plastic Tree’s 28th single.

The title “Sanatorium” refers to a hospital facility for people who require long-term recuperation due to illness.

It’s a beautiful ballad that delicately expresses the final days spent with a loved one and the sorrow of parting.

True LiePlastic Tree7rank/position

Plastic Tree – Hontou no Uso “The True Lie”

Plastic Tree is a rock band formed in 1993.

After making their major debut in 1997, they released this song in 1998.

While the track has a poignant resonance, the bass phrases and drum rhythms create a compelling groove, and vocalist Ryutaro Arimura’s bewitching voice lends the song a sense of splendor.

The lyrics are quite abstract and narrated in a story-like manner, leaving their meaning open to various interpretations.

Still, from the seemingly paradoxical title and lyrics—“True Lie”—one can sense a profound anguish.
