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)

These lyrics are from the song "FWFL" by ゴスペラーズ (Gospellers). The song talks about the importance of moving forward in a relationship and not giving up. It acknowledges the struggles and challenges that may come along the way but emphasizes the need to persevere for love.
The lyrics begin by expressing the inability to stand in a perfect way and asking if the listener can relate to feeling that way too. It suggests that the person addressed in the song already belongs to the singer and asks them to move their hand aside, indicating a possessive and intimate relationship. The singer assures that they have followed the proper steps and until the night escapes, they want to offer their love and explore each other's bodies.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to be connected and tied together day after day, as well as the imagery and dreams they had about it. The title "Forward for love" is repeated several times, reinforcing the message that this is the path one should take for love. The lyrics mention not being able to bear staying as they are and ask the other person to initiate something.
In the second verse, it is stated that the singer and the person they are addressing are unbeatable together and that they had always thought about becoming this way. They encourage each other to let go and experience everything that love gives birth to. The bridge highlights the significance of expressing four words for love, possibly referring to saying "I love you" or other powerful affirmations. The outro returns to the idea of moving forward for love and that men and women don't have to die before experiencing it fully.
Overall, the lyrics of "FWFL" convey the importance of taking action and moving forward in a relationship, not being afraid to express love and explore the depths of a connection.
