Netchuu Jidai Sambomaster with Lyrics

It’s a hymn to love that captures a man’s candid feelings—a soul-baring cry in true Sambomaster fashion—about sensing the end of his relationship with the woman he loves, grappling with urgency and confusion, yet burning with the desire to convey his feelings no matter what.

Sambomaster / On a Midsummer Night MUSIC VIDEO

Sambomaster is a three-piece band that’s won support with a searing, heart-shaking rock sound and messages that push listeners forward.

This track, included on the four-song E.P.

“Naked E.P.” released in February 2026, is a milestone: it was the first song recorded at the band’s newly established studio.

In the music video on their official YouTube channel, the intensity of the creative process is captured as-is, letting you feel the band’s breath and the raw atmosphere.

The lyrics, which portray how precious encounters can change the world even as we carry loneliness and sorrow, may gently light a spark in solitary hearts.

It’s an introspective yet powerful rock number—an unvarnished vocal and a raw, three-piece ensemble that hits you right in the chest.

Sambomaster / Lightning MUSIC VIDEO

Sambomaster is a rock band that has captivated many fans for years.

Their melodies lean alternative, yet every work carries a punk sensibility.

Their energetic, positive lyrics strike a chord every time, don’t they? Their new song is Inazuma (Lightning).

It’s a powerful track, but it’s also one you can sing a bit roughly without issue, making it relatively forgiving.

The vocal range is fairly standard, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sambomaster / Starting to Shine and Run - MUSIC VIDEO

It’s Sambomaster who gives you the courage to believe in yourself and charge forward, especially when you feel like giving up.

Their 2018 single “Kagayakidashite Hashitteku,” released as the theme song for the drama Cheer✩Dan, is a heartfelt anthem packed with earnest passion.

Its affirmative lyrics—urging you to make your own flower bloom no matter how tough things get—give a powerful push to children standing at the major milestone of graduation from their team.

Also included on the album Love & Peace! Masterpiece!, this song’s emotional band sound is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

With memories of days sweating and striving alongside friends in your heart, you’ll feel the energy to leap into a new world.

Play it at the climax of the graduation ceremony, and the whole venue will be wrapped in warm emotion.

Youth FrenzySambomasutā56rank/position

Seishun Kyōsōkyoku (Youth Rhapsody)

It’s the ending theme of the popular anime Naruto, created by the popular rock band Sambomaster.

The rugged yet emotional lyrics—one of Sambomaster’s hallmarks—matched the vibe of the anime’s protagonist and drew a strong response.

You Are the One Who Rings That BellSambomasutā57rank/position

You Are the One Who Rings That Bell

This song was used in the 2005 commercial for Georgia canned coffee, the “Walk Your Own Path” edition.

It’s performed by the three-piece band Sambomaster, but the song itself is Akiko Wada’s signature hit “Ano Kane wo Narasu no wa Anata” (“You Are the One to Ring That Bell”).

Paired with the feelings of people who strive—led by Naoto Takenaka, who appears in the commercial—it becomes a deeply moving ad.

It’s also a great example of how a cover song can reveal a different side of the original compared to Akiko Wada’s own performance.

Sambomaster / That Guy Who Came on the Night Train

This is a highly popular live number included on their debut album, “The Light and Path of New Japanese Rock,” released in 2003.

Its poignant yet intense performance carries a series of somewhat suggestive, hard-boiled lyrics that conjure up cinematic scenes—truly a classic.

It was later included on the best-of compilation “Sambomaster Ultimate Best.”

Affection and the walls of the heartSambomasutā59rank/position

Affection and the walls of the heart

Released in 2006, this is Sambomaster’s eighth single.

It’s a dance number with a pleasant four-on-the-floor beat that gets you grooving just by listening.

The same single also includes a cover of Akiko Wada’s “Ano Kane o Narasu no wa Anata.”

Letter ~As the Music to Come~

This is their seventh single, released in 2006.

It blends gentle, unpretentious songs with emotional ones, creating a sound that feels somehow nostalgic and brings back various memories as you listen.

It’s included on their best-of album, and I highly recommend giving it a listen at least once.
