The group is comprised of many vocal artists well known in the genre; aside from the many anime and video game theme songs that this group has performed together, each member is famous for his or her own solo performances of anime-related music.

As a group, they are perhaps best known for their themes for the Super Robot Wars series of video games.

The group has recently moved into the realm of live-action theme songs by performing opening and insert themes for the recent Tokusatsu show Ougon Kishi GARO.

JAM Project Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

避けられないカタストロフィー
誇り高き戦士-warrior-
永遠の輪を描いてる
真理という'理由'を探し旅立つ

Don't cry
まぶしく輝く扉の向こう側

遥か遠く微笑んでる
母なる惑星愛する人
確かに在る　温もりを守るため戦う

飛び散った鋼の夢
暗闇に消えて行く
またいつか出遭う魂
忘れないで永遠を生きよう

Don't say
なぐさめの言葉はきっといらない

哀しみはそう何も生まず
憎む敵も光と知り
運命と呼ぶ　使命を背負って今戦う

All things in the universe
螺旋の進化とは
数えきれぬ愛と光の物語-stories-

自分の帰る場所は
ただひとつと信じながら
確かに在る　温もりを守るため今戦う

でも疲れて哀しい時は扉あけて
確かに在る　温もりに抱かれ休めばいい
