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.

サンボマスター Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕等はなんにも変わらないだろ?
僕等はずっとここで夢だけを見て
何もしない程ドジじゃないのさ
今まで無くしたモノと これから君が見るもの
すべて取りかえたならば 変われるのかな 変われるのかな
真っ黒な心の闇をぬぐい去ってく
いつかの僕は捨てたいの あなたの事抱きしめてたいの
欲望はこの静脈を流れ出していく
Oh baby baby I love you
砂漠の中で夢だけ見ていても
奴等のズルさは見抜けないだろ?
僕等はずっとここで涙を流し
自分を責める程弱かないのさ
今まで君が聞いたもの 思い出のあの歌なんかを
朝まで歌えたならば 許せるのかな 許せるのかな
今から僕は歌うから かじかんだ心は溶かしてよ
真っ黒な震える夜はぬぐい去ってく
僕等の夜は汚れたら 誰の事も信じられないの
欲望はこの静寂を破り出して行く
I love you
少年少女! 青春爆走!
君のことだけ考えさせておくれ!
今まで君が泣いた事 はにかんだ言葉で話してよ
真っ黒な心の闇を白に染めてく
いつかは死ぬと決まっても あなたの事忘れられないの
欲望がこの静脈を崩れ落ちていく
Baby I love you baby I love you
崩れ落ちていく 涙を流す
朝まで踊る 恋をしていく
The lyrics of サンボマスター's song "Hikari no Rock" express the idea that even if we make mistakes or face hardships, it doesn't change who we are.

They question whether they can truly change if they were to exchange everything they lost in the past for what they will see in the future. The lyrics also touch on the theme of the singer's desire to wash away the darkness in their heart and embrace the person they love. They express the desire to leave behind their old self and hold onto the one they cherish. Through the song, they convey a message of hope and the power of love to transform one's life.
