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)
セプテノーヴァ
ゴスペラーズ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've got a way.
それはたったひとつだけ
光る扉
憧れだけじゃダメさ
いつか置いていかれる
吠えることも必要
ここに来た意味を知れ
笑顔も時に有効でも馴れ合いはノー
意識は常に高く顔を振り周りを観ろ
7つの星 重力に引かれ
魔法をまとい舞い降りた
銀河を跨ぎ 時空を超えて
目覚めるように光り出す
イメージを世界へ 夢中で
描け ファンタジーの向こう
両手伸ばせ 確かに存在(あ)る
限界なんかねぇ 宇宙へ
跳べるくらいの温度で
燃やせ始まりの合図君に響いている
新たな星がここで生まれる
空に掲げるのさ セプテノーヴァ
立ち止まる言い訳を
いくつ思い浮かべて
なぜ俺たちは今も
走り続けるのだろう
胸に残る 勇気握りしめ
追い越した昨日を
背負いながら これが最後と
何度でも跳ぶのさ
ステージは世界へ 彼方で
夢はエンディングを越え
鍵を開く 無限のロマン
完全なんかねぇ 未来は
がむしゃら過ぎる希望
届け この身体が 燃え尽きるまで
見上げるとほら
星たちが永い旅を語る
明日この想いは 何を語る
You have a shining star,
you've got a way.
誰もがたったひとつだけ
光る扉 駆け出すから
限界なんかねぇ 宇宙へ
跳べるくらいの温度で
燃やせ始まりの合図君に響いている
高鳴るプライド 全て捧げよう
新たな星がここで生まれる
空に掲げるのさ セプテノーヴァ
そして次なる道を照らして
光り輝く、このセプテノーヴァ

The lyrics encourage listeners to believe in themselves and to not limit their aspirations, comparing their potential to a shining star and a door of light.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of not just longing for dreams, but taking action and standing out from the crowd. It suggests that one should not be afraid to be vocal, even if it means roaring like a beast, in order to understand the true meaning of being in a particular place or pursuing a certain goal. It implies that to shine brightly, one needs to have a little more passion and not just rely on smiles and conformity.
The song also references the seven stars (Septem Nova) being pulled by gravity, representing the magic and extraordinary abilities that transcend space and time. It urges listeners to imagine their fantasies and reach out to the world with both hands, asserting that there are no limits or boundaries, especially when it comes to venturing into the vastness of the universe.
Overall, "Septem Nova" is an uplifting and motivational song that urges listeners to be confident in themselves, chase after their dreams, and create a new future.
