Plastic Tree to continue with their tour

Plastic Tree just announced that they will still continue their National Tour (Ao no Unmeisen) but without Satou Kenken because Kenken must still hospitalized until the next two weeks. Here is the translation of their announcement on the official website at http://www.plastic-tree.com

[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.

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.
