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:

-

"Regarding Sato Kenken's hospitalization due to poor health,
We apologize that we have caused a great amount of worry to everyone.

At this time, we would like to report that Sato Kenken has been discharged in good health.

As a result, we will stand on stage with Sato Kenken, as the original Plastic Tree for our concert 'Ao no Unmeisen Saishuu Kouen: Tent (3)' on April 14th at Nippon Budokan,

This is based on the doctor's judgement and Sato Kenken's health,
The result after careful consideration among the members and management.

There is no other happiness than being able to perform with 4 members at a special place called Nippon Budokan."
