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 ↴

光と影の駆け引きで
真夜中のMatador
火傷しそうな溜め息で
君はまだ　Closed Door?
Tell me tell me Say you love me
Say you love me
手荒な求愛の　Dandy
Call me call me 快感の Timing

強引に Riding
激しく狂詩曲抱き締めて
吐き出した A to Z 零れ出す
初めての感情にこんなに
本当は Lonely Lady
聞かせて狂詩曲真実の瞬間に
息を止めて真紅のキスで
その身を投げて
美しすぎる眼差しで
窮屈な Monroe Walk
優しさだけじゃ足りないね
言えないわけない Say More!
Take it easy 曖昧な Feeling
踏み込んで Fall in
体感は想像以上に
Hold me hold me 手探りの Gypsy
乱暴に Dancing
激しく狂詩曲抱き締めて
吐き出した A to Z 零れ出す
初めての感情にこんなに
本当は Lonely Lady
聞かせて狂詩曲真実の瞬間に
息を止めて真紅のキスで
その身を投げて
激しく狂詩曲抱き締めて
吐き出した A to Z 零れ出す
初めての感情にこんなに
本当は Lonely Lady
聞かせて狂詩曲真実の瞬間に
息を止めて真紅のキスで
その身を投げて

Lady Queen bee Drive me crazy
Yes, I'm ready
誘惑に朦朧な Hunting
Kill me kill me 込み上げる Sexy
絡み合う刹那の Story
激しく狂詩曲抱き締めて
吐き出した A to Z 零れ出す
初めての感情にこんなに
本当は Lonely Lady

初めての感情にこんなに
本当は Lonely Lady
聞かせて狂詩曲真実の瞬間に

息を止めて真紅のキスで
その身を投げて
