Sambomaster wa kimi ni katarikakeru [Regular-Priced Edition]

In my honest opinion Sambomaster are the best japanese band around at the moment, with most groups they rely on good looks and their legions of screaming female fans to buy their cd's, but not Sambomaster, to say the lead singer is odd looking is an under-statement but who cares when the music is this unbelievably good. This is simply a must own album from a band that deserve internation sucess.

After reading a very extensive review of this band, I couldn't resist the urge to purchase this CD and see what all the fuss was about. Needless to say, Sambo Master has easily become one of my new favorite bands. Whether it is Mr. Yamaguichi's catchy and powerful vocals, Kondo's excellent Bass playing, or Kiuchi's impressive drumming abilities, they possess a certain something that I have been unable to find in any other band, Japanese or otherwise. This album is as good of a place to start as any, as it contains "Seishun Kyousou Kyoku", the catchy and easily recognizable theme to Naruto. Perhaps my favorite track on the album would have to be Shuumatsu Soul, a mellow and unforgettable piece that I have been unable to get out of my head as of recently. Although many may say that the album is unable to keep up the energy and power that it sets up in its eariler tracks, I actually enjoyed the balance of both soft and hard songs contained within its diverse tracklist. Do yourself a favor, and give this album a shot. You definitely won't regret it.

I just started listening to Sambomaster, and I must say that I'm very impressed with their work!! Utagoe Yoo Kore and Seishu Kyo-Sokyoku are my favorite songs on this album! A must buy for anyone who enjoys their music!!
