Sendai Kamotsu (仙台貨物?, "Sendai Transport") is the comedic side project of Japanese visual kei rock band Nightmare, formed in September 2001. It consists of entirely the same members using aliases (although neither band admits this), with the addition of a programmer. Sendai Kamotsu consists of Chiba (lead vocals), Satty (guitar), Fullface (guitar), Wen Chen Chen (bass), Gigaflare (drums) and Kurihara (programming).
Sendai Kamotsu formed in 2001 before Nightmare became successful, beginning their activities in 2002. They took part in the first Cannonball omnibus and toured with Doremidan and Shulla. They were first featured in Nightmare's "Jishou -Shounen Terrorist-" PV, minus Chiba.
Their first two demo tapes, "Kimuchi" and "Saipan" were released in April and July 2002, respectively. Their first album, Okuru Kotoba came out in April 2004. After that was a yearly single and an album release, starting with "N.M.N-No More Nayamimuyo-" in February 2006, "Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake" and their popular album, Jinsei Game in July 2006, "Gei School Otokogumi" in October 2007 and "Umanamide" in October 2008. "Umanamide" was used as the theme song to the anime Zettai Yareru Girisha Shinwa, which also featured Chiba as a voice actor.
During a surprise concert on September 5, 2009, Sendai Kamotsu announced that the band would be going on a break due to the company going bankrupt in the economic recession. The story of their bankruptcy was played out in the music video for "Fukyou no Kaze". They released their third album, Deko on October 28, 2009. It reached #15 in the Oricon Charts. The band had their final shows at the end of October in Sendai and at the Nippon Budokan on November 5, 2009, titled "Fukyou no Kaze~Sendai Kamotsu ~Forever~."
