Plastic Tree - Rira no Ki
Nee, himitsu no hako aketa boku wa,
Me ga tsuburete mou hitorikiri
Nee, nani mo mienai,
Kagami wo mite warau koto wa
Mou dekinakunaru
Nee, guchagucha mazeta e no gu no you na
Ameagari no sora ga toketa nara
Kanashimi no iro wa, nee,
Donna iro wo shiteru no?
Shiawase sou ni mieteru
Boku ni oshiete hoshii
Ki no shita de tada kuchite iketara ii
Boku wa sou negai,
Nemuru, nemuru, nemuru
Ki no shita de tada kuchite iketara ii
Boku wa sou negai,
Yasashii kaze wo ukete nemurou
Nee, rira no ki niwa usui iro no hana,
Neji jikake no komorebi ni yurete
Garasu kuzu ga kobare ochitekuru,
Kireisugite maru de uso mitai saa
Kanashimi no iro wa, nee,
Donna iro wo shiteru no?
Shiawase sou ni mieteru
Boku ni oshiete hoshikute
Mou ichido ame wo matsu,
Boku wa shiroi kasa wo motsu
Kowakute tada naki jya kuru,
Sora wo miagete naki jya kuru

This song is so awesome, Ryuutaro sure is a great composer! The same goes for all the other members of the group, including the ones who left it. they're all geniuses!

[@YuiIsMaiWaifu]

In Japan theres different copywrite laws... So there's a thing called "open covers" basically its when they take riffs and stuff but change the lyrics. It's completely legal in Japan and a lot of bands do it.

[@totalsaikou4520]

This isn't an open cover because the booklet attributes the song composition to Tadashi (I own the CD, I know this for sure). Plastic Tree has done an open cover of "Turn, Turn, Turn" by Pete Seeger called 祈り (Inori) (Pete Seeger is properly credited in the booklet) so I'm assuming that people are getting these mixed up. I'm not here to defend Plastic Tree because the verse melody has been obviously lifted from My Iron Lung but considering that Radiohead has lifted in a similar way before (Creep took its verse melody from The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe") I find the outrage a little hypocritical lmao.

[@KamisYuChan]

If everyone is complaining about similarities & covers (Asia is a little bit different with Copyright, but also holding much potencial) and trying to make new melodies, there won't be any new music in a few years.. I think it's nice when plastic tree actually honours their influences. They always told people which bands they like and influenced them.

[@happy777555]

the best band ever to walk the earth

[@kittastellar]

Their old songs were great, their old sound was great :')! Thaaaanks for the video, I LOVE this song :D anyway, I still loving them. Saludos!

[@dumbsquid6370]

Radio headやんけ！って思ったら案の定みんな指摘してたw でも良い感じにプラに落とし込んでるからすごいよね。普通にかっこいい。

[@jdtkwtkekgd]

バンド名もFake Plastic Treeからきてるんかなやはり

[@dishoarder]

all i could find on the internet was people saying this song being somewhat of a cover of my iron lung but their other song "sink" sounds like it too and i need someone else to agree with me on this one😭

[@natOfbar]

omg... love this

[@Nevetsga90]

that's cool. i didn't know they did a radiohead cover. i love radiohead! >:0

[@blackxxcat013]

i think i fell in love with their music all over again XDD

[@lv.888]

love this song.

[@WuHa105]

Ooh! This song is cool! I never really heard it until today, and i had been meaning to listen! ^u^

[@hamdihannechi5933]

many people proclaim that this song is plagiarized of the song my iron lung by radiohead, i do not think so! 1st, this is even more beautiful than the original & the chorus is totally different even the 2nd verse!!

[@hydethepenguin]

the vocals sound like my iron lung :0

[@athanasiuspernath8256]

I don't think so... Do u know about this famous french writer, Alfred de Musset? He said that the artits will always help each others, because they are all brothers. Even if one seems to copy an other one, as long as what he did is good, then it is no plagirism. I think de Musset was right about that, and I think that this song is amazing!

[@KamisYuChan]

Even if this was written 8 years ago.. I guess I think the same way and want to tell this to others.. at some point, music is flowing. It happens actually often, that when musicians compose an own song, they just hear the Same melody of their "new" song in the radio while composing and need to start new. If it's a cover or not, most really good musicians rather feel honoured from something like this

ネェ 秘密の箱開けた僕は 目が潰れてもう独りきり ネェ 何も見えない 鏡を見て 笑うことはもう出来なくなる ネェ ぐちゃぐちゃまぜた 絵の具のような雨上がりの空が溶けたなら 悲しみの色は ネェどんな色をしているの？ 幸せそうに見えてる僕に教えて欲しい 樹の下でただ朽ちていけたらいい 僕はそう願い 眠る 眠る 眠る 樹の下でただ朽ちていけたらいい 僕はそう願いやさしい風を受けて眠ろう ネェ リラの樹には薄い色の花 ネジじかけの木洩れ陽にゆれて ガラス屑がこぼれ落ちてくるきれい過ぎてまるで嘘みたいさ 悲しみの色は ネェ どんな色をしてるの？ 幸せそうに見えてる僕は教えて欲しくて もう一度雨を待つ 僕は白いカサを持つ こわくてただ泣きじゃくる空を見上げて泣きじゃくる 樹の下でただ朽ちていけたらいい 僕はそう願い 眠る 眠る 眠るああ 樹の下でただ朽ちていけたらいい 僕はそう願いやさしい風を受けて眠ろう

[@WuHa105]

I like the song Iron Lung, I also enjoy PT's slightly changed and creative cover... :)

[@kikorika1337]

Ребята, если вы задаётесь вопросом "тру это или не тру", я, как опытный эмо, могу заявить, что это тру.

[@ultimate.komanaminista2700]

Why isn't this in spotify????😭😭😭

[@catsup7914]

Fr all their good songs are not on Apple Music either

Rira Lila Lira Rila no Ki

[@hikakaruy]

it's because is a cover of that song~

[@siuwind]

Shouldn't "リラ" mean "Lilac" ? btw thanks for your translation. I really love this song.

[@shadkuroi]

I dont think, bcaus Plastic have other song called Lilac So i think the use of that katakana its a wordplay

[@prznt]

@EdwinVegas well it doesnt because Plastic Tree couldn't afford that pitch changer in My Iron Lung during their indie times lol.

[@user-tq3qe5fz2r]

西行＋寺山修司

[@soph3709]

Anyone know the official title of this song?

[@tomoandmino]

Rira no ki リラの樹 :)

[@sekhmetleon6664]

OMG my iron lung hahaha

[@tomoandmino]

No 👎

[@Flyleafsoup]

Plastic Tree is inspired by Radiohead, so no shit that there's going to be a song that sounds way too damn similar to theirs. But, this is a cover, admit it Plastic Tree Fans.

[@notnice2637]

it sounds just like My irong lungs

[@tomoandmino]

Wth??? 😩😩

[@adanielcometojudgment]

ご丁寧にバンド名までレディへ由来かｗ

[@prznt]

@EdwinVegas its a cover of "my iron lung", LOL

[@gaijingp]

Version... Radiohead - My Iron Lung

[@tomoandmino]

Nope 👎

[@estherfy1875]

este es un cover de Radiohead?, es la segunda canción me suena a ellos, pero está genial

[@Shave_808]

RadioHeadのMy Iron Lungのパクリじゃんｗ まあ、すきだからいいんだけどｗ

[@meziro4997]

ホントだ笑まんまですね笑

[@Urimagnetlink]

this is not a cover or a inspiration, it's plagirism...

[@ankoo0319]

Não.

[@Paul-vq6jk]

It barely sounds like the "original"

[@ress904]

ガリガリがこのバンドパクった。 初代のシュウジの頃まんま。

ネェ　秘密の箱開けた僕は　目が潰れてもう独りきり ネェ　何も見えない　鏡を見て笑うことはもう出来なくなる ネェ　ぐちゃぐちゃまぜた絵の具のような雨上がりの空が溶けたなら 悲しみの色は　ネェ　どんな色をしているの？ 幸せそうに見えてる僕に教えて欲しい 樹の下でただ朽ちていけたらいい 僕はそう願い　眠る　眠る　眠る 樹の下でただ朽ちていけたらいい 僕はそう願い　やさしい風を受けて眠ろう ネェ　リラの樹には薄い色の花　ネジじかけの木漏れ陽にゆれて ガラス屑がこぼれ落ちてくる　きれいすぎてまるでうそみたいさ 悲しみの色は　ネェ　どんな色をしているの？ 幸せそうに見えてる僕に教えて欲しくて もう一度雨を待つ　僕は白いカサを持つ こわくてただ泣きじゃくる　空を見上げて泣きじゃくる
