Kenken message to Plastic Tree Fans

Plastic Tree blog has been updated with Kenken comment for all fans, please check the translation below:
[Official] Today we received a message from Satou Kenken himself for all of the fans.
--------------------------
I have caused everyone so much worry over my sickness this time.

I'm really sorry.

I look out the window everyday.

Honestly, I can't find the right words to properly convey my current feelings. But I think I should start at the beginning.

Under the current conditions, I'm not sure when I'll be discharged from the hospital, but while I wait to hear "tadaima" from everyone when I finally recover, I'll rest.

I've troubled everyone with so much worry, so I truly apologize.

Together with this tour "Ao no unmeisen," please continue to look after me.

And all of the members.

Thank you.



Of course I wanted to meet everyone on this tour.

These feelings and everyone's support are important and will be my provisions until I recover.

Until then, it would make me happy if everyone has fun on this tour.

Plastic Tree
Satou Kenken

Let's hope that Kenken will be better soon. And don't forget to keep support Plastic Tree (^^)

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.

Plastic Tree / J-ROCK / AKATSUKI label
Questions: AKATSUKI label 03-5485-5678 (11:00~18:00)

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.

Arimura Ryuutarou
Hasegawa Tadashi

So if you find that there's a news about Plastic Tree cancelled their National Tour, its definitely NOT TRUE
thanks for your attention.

Kuroyume song as movie "hard romanti-cer" theme song

On September 10th, it was revealed that rock band Kuroyume will be providing the theme song to the upcoming movie “Hard Romanti-cer“, starring popular actor Matsuda Shota.

“13 new ache” is a new song written specifically for the movie and this will mark the first time that Kuroyume has been in charge of a movie theme song since their formation twenty years ago. When asked about their tie-up, Kuroyume member Kiyoharu replied, “After I heard that Kuroyume would be doing our first theme song for a movie, we recording “13 new ache” while getting this image of mayhem, madness, chaos from the contents of the [movie].” With a smile, he added, “I feel very happy about [having received] this offer].”

Director Gu also expressed similar feelings when asked about his decision to appoint Kuroyume in charge of the movie’s theme song. “When I received consent for my dream-like, violent request for this dream-like, violent movie, I was incredibly thankful… When it comes to Kuroyume’s music, I earnestly admire them. Thank you,” he said, expressing his gratitude towards the rock band once more.

The movie is based on Gu Su Yeon’s popular novel of the same name, and is set in Shimonoseki. Matsuda Shota plays a high school drop-out with slicked back blonde hair named Gu, who becomes involved in a chain of violence after an incident and spends all of his time in fights, painting an image of a youth who’s become reckless and lost his way in the world. Nakamura Shidou, Watanbe Atsurou,Nagayama Kento, Emoto Tokio, Kaneko Nobuaki, Watabe Gouta, Maki Youko, and Awaji Keikoalso appear in the movie for an all-star cast.

For the special, invite-only version of “Hard Romanti-cer” being shown at the 24th Tokyo International Film Festival (October 22nd through 30th) and the midnight showing of the movie at the 16th Kamayama International Film Festival (October 6th through 14th),  the theme song will be provided by the ska band Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

Additionally, “13 new ache” will be included on Kuroyume’s upcoming album “Headache and Dub Reel Inch“, which is slated for a released on November 2nd.

sayonara Isshi.. Rest In Peace

again, shocking news from viskei world.. i'm a fans of kagrra too, so it really a great shock to me.. T__T
i can't even find a good words to say, so i just quoted this news from jpopasia and channel news asia.

Source: jpopasia

Isshi, ex-vocalist of Kaggra, and since then solo artist, has been found dead a few days ago.

It has been reported that Isshi, former vocalist of Kaggra, has been found dead in his home on the 18th. No details about his passing have been revealed. His funeral has been held, with only people close to him attending.

Isshi was scheduled to hold solo concerts on the 27th and 28th of July, but these events will instead become memorial services. The single that had been announced to be released in September will most certainly never happen.

Source: channel news asia

Japanese rocker Isshi, vocalist of popular Japanese rock band Kagrra, has passed away.

According to a statement on Isshi's official website, he was found dead in his home on July 18.

However, the statement made no mention of how he died; only saying that Isshi's funeral has already been held at an undisclosed location, as his family had requested.

In addition, the statement also said that Isshi's upcoming concerts on July 28 and July 27 will serve as memorial events to mark the his passing instead.

Kagrra was originally known as 'CROW', but the band was renamed 'Kagrra' after they signed with music label PS Company in 2000.

Over the years, Kagrra had built a reputation for wearing fanciful costumes inspired by traditional Japanese styles whenever they performed, before announcing in November last year that the band has decided to split up.

Isshi embarked on a solo music career after Kagrra split up and was scheduled to release his new single in September 2011, but passed away before it could be released.
