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.
Since releasing their debut album, Sambomaster have since released another three albums. Sambomaster Wa Kimi Ni Katarikakeru was released in Janurary 2005, Boku To Kimi No Subete Wo Rock 'N' Roll To Yobe was released in April 2006 and Ongaku no Kodomo wa Mina Utau was released in January 2008.
In 2004, they released the singles Seishun Kyousoukyoku, which was used as an opening theme to the anime Naruto, and Utsukushi Ningen No Hibi, which was used as the main theme for the movie Koi no Mon. In a similar move, the 2005 single Sekai Wa Sore Wo Ai To Yobundaze was used as the closing theme for the television show Densha Otoko. It's widely accepted that these are the songs Sambomaster are currently best known for. This particularly rings true in the west, where exposure to the band is small, especially when compared to big-name Japanese Rock groups.

The lyrics of サンボマスター's song ビューティフル are about longing for a day when the darkness in the world no longer clouds the beauty within oneself. The song expresses a desire for a peaceful and beautiful night for the person the singer addresses. It is a wish that their own wish, perhaps for happiness and contentment, comes true. However, the darkness of the world has obscured this person's heart and even their own beauty. The singer emphasizes the contrast between the true beauty of this person and the ugliness of the world they live in.
The chorus of the song repeatedly declares the person's beauty, emphasizing that they are the only one who can save the singer. In this world full of unanswered questions and confusion, the person addressed remains the singer's answer and salvation. The song also calls for spreading rock and roll music worldwide as a dedication to this person, who is the singer's everything. It acknowledges the sadness and uncertainties that exist in the world, how the actions of powerful figures contribute to the darkness, and the concern the singer feels for this person.
In summary, ビューティフル conveys a longing for a day when the darkness in the world no longer obscures the true beauty of a person, who is seen as the singer's answer and salvation. It highlights the contrast between the beauty within this person and the ugliness of the world they live in. The song also expresses a plea for rock and roll music to be a dedication to this person, emphasizing their importance in the singer's life.
