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)

一つになるのさ
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
一つになるのさ
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
遮る壁など無い心が呼びかける
聞こえたならすぐその声で
繋がれ繋がる言葉を
ソロエチラセズラセハモレ

駆け抜けるスピードで
カーブを描いて
吸い込まれてゆくように
一つになるのさ
一筋の軌跡を追って
見届けたいのさ
一人の力では成し得ない奇蹟を

歌え今ここが永遠
明日が始まるくらい
吐き出せ思うままに
重なれ重なる舞台と
1. 2.で口ずさむ
3.4.で入れ替わる
そうだろう溢れる音が
光を集めて世界を照らす日まで
一つになるのさ
人つなぐ鼓動に乗って
聞こえてくるのさ
一人ひとりの歌が
一つになるのさ
一筋の軌跡を追って
見届けたいのさ
一人の力では成し得ない
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
一つになるのさ
人つなぐ鼓動に乗って
聞こえてくるのさ
一人ひとりの歌が
一つになるのさ
一筋の軌跡を追って
見届けたいのさ
一人の力では成し得ない奇蹟を

一つになるのさ・・・
LA LA LA LA LA・・・
