ABOUT
Sambomaster (サンボマスター, Sanbomasutā) is a Japanese band signed by Sony Music of Japan. Lead vocalist and guitarist Yamaguchi Takashi first met drummer Yasufumi Kiuchi a few years back, at a university music club they were both members of. The duo ran into bassist Yoichi Kondo during February of 2000, and the three went on to officially form the band now known as Sambomaster. They made their debut at a live house in Tokyo's Koenji district and soon followed this up with the self-production of their first single Kick no Oni (Kicking Demons), which they spent nearly a year working on. It was subsequently released in April 2001 as a limited edition of 300 copies. For the first time, listeners outside of a live show were presented with vocalist and frontman Yamaguchi's vocals, which shift between a soft, sandpaper-like melodic voice to all-out screaming madness. Sambomaster's musical style is a blend of punk/classic rock, pop, jazz and rock ballads.
