Plastic Tree returns with new album
20
Jan, 2011
The management agency for visual-kei band Plastic Tree delivered some good news on Thursday: vocalist Ryutaro Arimura has completely recovered from Guillain-Barré syndrome and will be resuming activities, including the band’s nationwide tour that starts this March.
Last month, Plastic Tree canceled two concerts after Arimura was diagnosed with the disorder. Guillain-Barré syndrome, which affects the nervous system and can lead to paralysis, is incurable but highly treatable. Fortunately, Arimura was diagnosed while the disorder was still in an early stage and received treatment right away.
Along with the news of Arimura’s return, it was revealed that Plastic Tree will release a new album titled “ammonite” on April 6, which will be their first one since December 2009. The band is currently recording for the album, which is planned to have a total of 12 tracks. The limited edition of the album will come with a DVD that reportedly includes the music video for their song “13th Friday” and some off-shot footage.
Plastic Tree’s tour will consist of 21 shows, starting on March 14 at Akasaka BLITZ in Tokyo.

Plastic Tree’s Ryutaro diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome
26
Dec, 2010
Plastic Tree announced on Saturday that their vocalist Ryutaro Arimura has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare and incurable disorder that affects the nervous system and causes paralysis.
The vocalist had a high fever on December 21, and he complained of weakness in his body the following day. After being examined by a doctor, it was learned that he suffers from Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Under his doctor’s orders, the band decided to cancel two concerts scheduled for December 28-29 at Tokyo’s JCB Hall, despite Ryutaro’s strong desire to perform.

Lots of exciting news for MUCC!
MUCC will be releasing their new single as we mentioned both here and here on the 9th June, which also happens to be *”MUCC’S Day”!
[*The number 6 is "roku" in Japanese but can also be read as "mu", and as the number 9 is "kyuu" it can be shortened to "ku" to be read as "69" = "mu ku" i.e. "Mukku".]
Along with their single release on this special day, the band will be holding an event 『ムックを捜せ！』 (Find MUCC!), where fans can search for MUCC both at the event in Shibuya and virtually.
To take part, all fans must purchase the First Press edition of the single 『約束』 (yakusoku), which will enclose a an I.D. card with a number/code that they will need. They then access the “MUCC Day” website either through their mobile/cell phones or through their computer. There are then 3 methods in which fans can participate:
01. Find MUCC in “real time”
This event in Shibuya will take place on the 9th June, starting at 6pm and ending at 9pm, where fans search for MUCC and find stamps to stamp on their sheet.
02. Find MUCC “virtually”
Using your PIGGS (avatars) on Ameba blogs, you can find the MUCC member’s PIGGs in the virtual Shibuya in the Ameba world and collect their special “keywords”.
03. “Reccommend” MUCC
With each member now part of Twitter as we mentioned here, if you send them a “nice” (interesting, funny) comment you could be chosen!
Those who participate and apply will be entered into a lottery where they could recieive an invitation to take part in the shooting of their new PV on 12th June! It will be at ‘Palette Town’ in Odaiba, where the lucky chosen fans can go see a free gig which will be used in the music video.
For more information on this amazing event, see their official “MUCC Day” website.
Whilst not forgetting the band’s autumn tour as we mentioned here, they are busy taking part in 3 more upcoming events;
01. 『NEXUS J-ROCK GOES TO THE WORLD』 on the 6th June at the ‘NEXUS STUDIO COAST’ in Tokyo, along with bands 葵 (aoi), ＬＣ５, ギルガメッシュ (Gilgamesh) and Plastic Tree. Tickets for first floor standing are now on sale for 5,250yen. To buy them and for more information, see here.

Ryutaro (Plastic Tree) on ‘Hotwave’ Interview
28
Feb, 2010
An interview with the vocalist Ryutaro from the band Plastic Tree, on the show ‘Hotwave’. I’m afraid I’m not sure what year this interview is, but I think it’s a little old. If anyone could fill me in with that I’d be grateful 
In this clip, Ryutaro talks about the band’s recent activities at the time, his dislike for summer, as well as the male presenter’s obsession with Ryutaro’s appearance! To be honest there may not be that much content within the interview itself, but I think we get a better idea of Ryutaro’s reserved, but sweet character.
Enjoy!
Presenters: Good evening!
Ryutaro: (bows) Good evening!
*Male Presenter: Long time no see! It’s been about 6 months…?
[*continued as 'M Presenter']
Ryutaro: Yes. Long time no see!
M Presenter: As always, you have such beautiful skin.
Ryutaro: Oh no, I wouldn’t say that…!
