Originally calling themselves the A Cappella Circle when they were at the University of Waseda, they changed their name to the Gospellers in 1991 after graduating. They spent the next ten years working towards national recognition, releasing 24 singles and 9 albums during that time. They became the first complete a cappella group to be in the top 3 of the Oricon chart ranking in Japan with their song, "HITORI".
In early 2006, the group made a side-project release, Gosperats, featuring the members in blackface and singing with a jazzier accompaniment Rats & Star's member Masayuki Suzuki, Nobuyoshi Kuwano and Yoshio Sato. Many of the western Gospeller fans were upset about the outrage it caused on some discussion forums, many non-fans felt offended by the blackface the group members had chosen to take on. Fortunately, this project was announced as a side-project and released only one album under its name.
The members of Gospellers are now producers for several Japanese artists, including Tatsuya Ishii and Masayuki Suzuki. (This text has been cited from Wikipedia)
まちがいさがし
ゴスペラーズ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
愛って まちがいさがし
昨日は 悪かったよ
少し言い過ぎたよ
だけどね やっぱりね
コーラとおにぎり
一緒に食べて飲んでちゃ この国
明日のことなど考えてる訳ない
愛って まちがいさがし
ちょっと 何すんだよ
そんなに楽しそうな顔
プリクラ フニクラ
いろんなとこ貼りつけて
みつめられたら 毎日
ヒロコのことだけ考えてる訳ない
恋って まちがいばかりて
愛って まちがいさがし
結構 疲れんだよ
僕にはこれ仕事なんたぜ
カラオケ? ヤル訳?
そりゃキライじゃないけど
ハモらせんなよ
そんなにドミソのことだけ
考えてる訳ない
恋って まちがいばかりて
愛って まちがいさがし
両手に花なんだろ
俺達に秘密あるんだろ
夜な夜な ドナドナ
西へ東へ愛のため
家に帰れば
あの子もお前のことだけ
考えてる訳ない
恋って まちがいばかりて
愛って まちがいさがし
恋って まちがいばかりて
愛って まちがいさがし
あ～どんなに
求めて信じて近づいたって
結局 他人なんだもん
こっちの勝手な理想と現実
違って当然 イヤなとこ丸ごと
スキスキ言ってんの
恋って 情熱の問題です
愛って 覚悟の問題です
恋って まちかいばかりで
愛って まちがいさがし
