Sambomaster (サンボマスター) is a Japanese Rock band, signed to Sony Music Japan. They were formed in February 2000 when Takashi Yamaguchi (山口隆) (Guitar & Vocals) and Yasufumi Kiuchi (木内泰史) (Drums & Back-Up Vocals) who had first met at a music club at university a few years prior, met Youichi Kondo (近藤洋一) (Bass & Back-Up Vocals) and decided to start a band. Thus, Sambomaster were born.
They first made their debut at a live house (known as Showboat) in the Koenji district of Tokyo not too long after first forming the band. This was quickly followed by them self-producing their first mini-album, Kick no Oni, which took almost a year to complete and was eventually released in April 2001, limited to only 300 copies. They then built on this progress by participating in various indie complations and anthologies, coupled with seemingly endless gigging across the country, which helped create a large amount of interest for the band.
However, Sambomaster’s big break finally came in Summer 2003, when they appeared at Fuji Rock Festival’s Rookie a Go-Go (a show designed to highlight up-and-coming new bands) which lead to them getting signed to Sony Music Japan and releasing their major-label debut album, Atarashiki Nihongo Rock No Michi To Hikari, in December 2003. It eventually peaked at #3 on the music charts, which was a miraculous achievement for the band, as the album had next been given to no advertisting on Sony Music’s part, and was being sold on word of mouth and good reviews only.

They are too much pop now, I prefered much more when they had that punk attitude in some tracks like "Chou" or "Zetsubou to Yokubou to Otokonoko to Onnanoko" but when I heard the new single I couldn't even finish it. Mass music without any heart inside. *sigh* Get back Sambomaster!
