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)

Oh baby
この世界にまだ 足りないものは
それは愛 気付かないだけで
握りしめた運命は
差し出すように Smile
Under the sky
Under the star light
求めあい (求めあい) 与えあい
愛し愛されたら
(Oh girl, girl)
This is your love

This love is real
Oh girl, you know

Shu-wi-lap do-wi-lap
shu-wi-la-pa-do-way-yea-i-yea
Shu-wi-lap this is your love
And this love is real
Oh baby
子供みたいにただ 泣きたいのなら
それくらい かまわない だから
あるがままに感情は
分け合うように Cry
Under the sky
Under the star light
(Oh girl, girl)
認めあい (認めあい) 許しあい
愛を受け入れたら
(Oh girl, girl)
This is your love
