Sound
Early in their career, their music was dark and had heavy visual kei influences. As time went on, their sound seemed to change and evolve with every album. Due to this, the band does not think that they should be placed into any certain genre.
Plastic Tree has also stated that their sound has been considerably influenced by British bands such as Radiohead and The Cure.
The the most recognizable 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. Their sound is also aided by Ryutaro's unique lyrics.
Plastic Tree's current sound ranges from hardcore rock to pop. · close
