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)

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あなたの瞳を見ると
星空にいるようさ
その輝きを僕のものに
したいと思うのは罪かな?
夜空を駆け抜けてく
my shootin' star
どうか僕の胸に降りて欲しい
闇の中を彷徨ってた

ひとりで Oh, Darling
こんな愛が
待っているとは知らないで
抱いているのに抱かれてる様さ
あなたの愛の秘密が見たい
戻れなくていい
夜空を駆け抜けてく
my shootin' star
あなただけに愛を誓うから
はなさないよ
Honey, you are my shootin' star
いつまでもあなたと踊りたい

あなたに逢いたくて
こんな世界へ
生まれ落ちて来たのさ
もう一度 Kissしよう
愛の名前を
胸に刻もう
夜空を駆け抜けてく
my shootin' star
愛の光注ぎ続けてる
はなさないよ
Honey, you are my shootin' star
あなただけに愛を誓うから
夜空を駆け抜けてく

my shootin' star
あなただけに愛を誓うから
