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)

「大きな声で叫んでも
この煮つまりの世紀末は
追い越せない」
「声に声を重ね織りなす
声の上乗せで誘ううわの空カモン」

今飛び越せばすぐ未来
hey hey hey hey

今あとはそのウデ次第
Yeah そのどおり
いざ開け混沌の果て
目指せ夜明け
照らし出せセンジンの崖めがけ放て
持って生まれた
鍵で開けられるものが
あるのだと言い切れ
「それがキー?」と問わば問え
開け右手
「これが Keys いわば Five Keys」
hey hey hey hey
今冴えた手だて見つけて
hey hey hey hey
今構わずに呼びさませ
タマシイ野放せ
タノシイのならオーライ
スバラシイ上乗せその上また上
カナシイ誤魔化せ
イヤラシイおしなべてオーライ
スバラシイ上乗せ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
うねる海さえ開けるのなら
新たなるトビラ
我と我が身へ心に用意在りと吼ゆ
「それが Five Keys」

告げる鐘が鳴り響く
ぼさぼさっとそれに気付かない連中
ゆらゆらっと漂ってる間中ほらっ
東の空が燃えてるぜ
兆しはその辺転がってるぜ
明日はこっちだゴスペラーズは行く
ついて来いカモンジャンプ」
