Sambomaster “Possibility” MUSIC VIDEO — short version

The theme song for the film “Flying Colors,” starring Kasumi Arimura.

It follows the movie’s theme properly while still sounding distinctly like Sambomaster.

Yamaguchi’s guitar work is cool, too.

It feels like it’s encouraging you, saying that everyone has potential—believe in it.

If you have a friend who’s feeling down, secretly let them listen to this song!

Oh, this singing voiceSambomasutā

Oh, this singing voice

It’s a fiery song.

At the live shows, you can’t help but throw your fist in the air.

It makes you want to hop up and down.

The lyrics—“Oh singing voice, lend strength to this weak me”—even bring me to tears.

When you hear this track, anyone in a band must feel like they want to be Sambomaster.

All I can say is, it’s just cool.

How about you?

Path of Hope / Sambomaster

“The Road of Hope” is Sambomaster’s 16th single, released in 2011.

It was the theme song for the Fuji TV Sunday drama series “School!!” This song, like an anthem cheering on young people about to spread their wings, is passionate and feels like it will give you a push forward.

Please realize/notice your own beauty.Sambomasutā

Please notice your own beauty — i just want you to know that you’re beautiful.flv

This is a mid-tempo ballad released in 2010 that was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Princess Jellyfish.

The conversational singing style and gentle sound really tug at the heartstrings.

If you’re a woman, you can’t help but think, “I want someone to feel this way about me!” don’t you think?

I have use for that warmth.Sambomasutā

Sambomaster - I Need That Warmth (LIVE)

It’s a classic track from their major-label debut album released in 2003.

Sambomaster 'YES' Music Video

A powerful song that makes you feel that true rock will never die.

It addresses “boys and girls” in English, and it makes me think that in Sambomaster’s world, all men are boys and all women are girls.

The lyrics give me a push on the back, telling me this is what life is still all about, even though it’s only just begun.

I feel like I’d cry if I heard it live…

Let me change the world.Sambomasutā

Sambomaster: Hang in there, Tohoku! Hang in there, Japan! Charity 1/2

The commercial song for the bottled water “I LOHAS.” Although it’s technically treated as a B-side single, it’s the kind of track that could even surpass the A-side.

A love song that candidly portrays unrequited feelings without any embellishment.

Its honesty and simplicity are likely what make it resonate with so many people.

It’s a song that suits live performances where your body naturally starts to sway.

The harmonies by members Kondo and Kiuchi also leave a strong impression.
