Sato Kenken will performed at Nippon Budokan


On April 9th, it was reported that Plastic Tree’s drummer Sato Kenken has been discharged from the hospital. He will officially resume his activities in the band’s one-man live, ‘Ao no Unmeisen Saishuu Kouen: Tent (3)’, at Nippon Budokan on April 14th.
Sato was hospitalized last month due to acute hepatitis, and was forced to cancel his appearance from the band’s tour. His appearance at Nippon Budokan was decided after careful consideration from the members and management.
Below is a translated message from the members of Plastic Tree:
From Plastic Tree to everyone.

We apologize for causing everyone so much worry regarding Satou Kenken's hospitalization.

We have received news that Satou Kenken is able to safely leave the hospital at this time.

In addition, for the 4/14 "Ao no unmeisen finale: Tent 3" performance at Nippon Budoukan, Satou Kenken will be able to stand on stage as a member of Plastic Tree.

This decision is based on the doctor's judgement and Kenken's own health, and the members and the manager have taken both into consideration in addition to the following:

With such a special place as the Nippon Budoukan, unless all four members can perform, it would not be a happy event.


On this fine day under the tree that never rots.
We're so excited to meet with everyone.

先日、無事に退院する事ができました。

今はとにかく、メンバーやみんなに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

そして「ただいま」「ありがとう」をちゃんと言えるように、準備に集中しようと思います。

14日、日本武道館で会いましょう。

楽しみにしてます。

(From Satou Kenken to everyone.

I was safely discharged from the hospital a few days ago.

I'm so full of grateful feelings to the members and everyone else.

And for me to say "I'm home" and "thank you" properly, I think I should concentrate on preparations.

Let's meet at the Nippon Budoukan on the 14th.

I'm looking forward to it.

He is also started to tweet again.


@Pla_kenken: 先週末、無事に退院する事ができました。みんなの気持ちや声、ちゃんと届きました。おかげで、ドラム叩けるまでバリ元気になれました。ありがとう。早くみんなに会いたいです。4月14日の日本武道館、楽しみにしてます。
(I was safely discharged from the hospital last weekend. I received everyone's feelings and voices. Thanks to that, I've gained the energy at rehearsal to play the drums. Thank you. I want to meet with everyone soon. Looking forward to the 4/14 Nippon Budoukan.)


Welcome back, Kenken! おかえり♪ ヽ(´▽`ヽ)
