The compositions of The Massmissile are remembered for a harmonious combination of rock and pop music and lyric lyrics. The main motives of The Massmissile songs are determination ( Ima made nando mo , Kono mama ja kono mama de mo , Ima ), personality development and growing up ( Naruhodo , Ichininmae , Youshoki , Shogakusei no natsu , etc.), friendship ( Nakama no uta ), love ( Tenki no uta , SAIN , Tegami , etc.). The powerful and emotional voice of the lead singer gives the songs a special expressiveness. Often you can hear how all musicians sing in chorus. The rhythm of the songs is different: from fast chords of rock music to slow tunes, like in old ballads. In general, the compositions of The Massmissile are emotional and contain a deep lyrical coloring.

History
The team was assembled in Tokyo in September 2000 and performed with concerts in various clubs. In 2002, Kyoukasho (教科書) was released at his own expense. The first performances were very successful, and soon the group went on tour in Japan. Following this, they recorded the mini-album Nakama no uta (仲 間 の う た) under the label of Small World Records .
In 2004, the band entered into an agreement with Sony Music and released three singles with the compositions Ima made nando mo , Kimi ga ite kurete yokatta , Kyoukasho . Soon, the first full-length album Ningen de yokatta was released under the Sony Music brand, which was very popular after showing the Naruto anime series , in which one of his songs was performed. In August 2006, the second album was released under the title Moyori no yume .
With each song released, The Massmissile continued to gain popularity and gain fans, both in Japan and abroad. However, in early 2007, three musicians announced their desire to leave the group. In his appeal on the official website, the group leader said that the group would not be disbanded, but it would take some time to find new members.
