Plastic Tree Gets Backup Drummer for Tour

Visual kei band Plastic Tree announced today on their official site that their drummer will cancel his appearance in the nationwide tour. Their drummer Sato Kenken has been hospitalized for acute hepatitis and has been in the hospital for 4 days. With thorough examinations, it is said that he will need to stay in the hospital for at least another two weeks. The tour will still go as planned and will have a support drummer to back the band up in absence of their member.

Members stated that even though these are hard times and a member of theirs is undergoing intensive pain and anguish, it is for the better that we go on happily and not just disregard it, but keep it within our hearts. We want to make this hard journey with Sato and be able to bear his burdens so they can become light.

The nationwide tour will start on the 15th of this month at the Yokohama BLITZ and continue till the Niigata LOTS on April 13th touring to 13 different locations. Their final performance is scheduled the next day at the Tokyo Nippon Budoukan.

    this is also a translate from their official site:
    [Official] And a message from the Plastic Tree members regarding this decision.

    Under the current circumstances with Satou Kenken in the hospital, we are truly sorry to cause everyone to worry so much. We apologize from the bottoms of our hearts.

    We have decided to continue this tour "Ao no unmeisen" as planned with a support drummer.

    All of the members, including Satou Kenken, exist together as Plastic Tree. And so it greatly troubled us and we thought long and hard about making this decision.

    However, without being locked into an option, completely of our own free will, we feel that we have made the best decision for the sake of his recovery, and for the sake of Plastic Tree.
    Even though Satou Kenken's absence is truly unfortunate for all of the fans, and for us as Plastic Tree, we will take his spirit on the trip with us.

    If we could somehow take that feeling from everyone at all of the venues and through the music, it would make all of the members happy as well.

    Still under the tree that never rots.
    We hope to meet everyone.

    really? Because the translator in twitter translate their announcement like this:
    [Official] Regarding Plastic Tree's spring tour "Ao no unmeisen," we previously announced that Dr Satou Kenken was hospitalized with acute hepatitis.
    As the result of a thorough examination, the diagnosis has determined that he needs rest and must be hospitalized for two weeks without seriously doing anything. We hope he makes a strong recovery, but based on the examination results, Satou Kenken must not perform for the time being.
    However, to fulfill the desires of all of the fans looking forward to the spring tour, as a result of a conference with the members, the performances will continue as planned with a friend of Plastic Tree filling as support drummer.
    For everyone who has bought tickets, and for all of the fans looking forward to the performances, we deeply apologize for causing you so much worry.

    hello,are you sure you're not making a mistake in this news? Because as far as I know, the Plastic Tree staff has just announced their exclusive Spring Tour Goods, how come they suddenly canceled it?
    please do a double check before submitting a news. Thanks.
