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)

いつも側にいて
あなたの事その全てを
受けとめて (受けとめて) あげなきゃね
さよなら今年はこれで
逢えるのは最後だろうね
抱きしめたその後で悲しい笑顔
本当の恋と云うなら
いつも側にいて
あなたの事その全てを
受けとめて (受けとめて) あげなきゃね
ヘッドフォンあなたの好きな (I miss you, I miss you)
歌を聴く最終列車
直ぐにまた声が聴きたい
何気なく電話した次の約束を
本当の恋と云うなら
限られた時間で
思い出ばかり集めても
苦しいよ (苦しいよ) 足りないよ oh oh
明日がある限り
何か選ばなきゃいけない
僕の事 あなたの事 二人の事
悲しいけど全部とはいかない
でもこれは本当の恋なんだから
いつも側にいるよ
あなたの事その全てを
受けとめて (受けとめて) あげるから
行くよ 行くよ 行くよ
あなたの側に行くよ
二人の事その全てを
受けとめて (受けとめて) あげるから
The Japanese lyrics to ゴスペラーズ's song 新大阪 ("Shin-Osaka") speak of a love that is true, devoted, and bittersweet. The singer expresses the desire to always be by their loved one's side and accept them completely, even though they know they will have to part ways soon. The second verse paints a picture of nostalgia and longing, as the singer listens to their loved one's favorite song on their headphones and rides the last train. Despite the pain of limited time and uncertain futures, the singer wants to hold onto their memories and promises to be there for their beloved. The final lines resolve to go with them and accept everything about their relationship.
The song's lyrics showcase themes of love, longing, and devotion. The use of sensory imagery - "滲むホーム" (a blurry platform), "悲しい笑顔" (a sad smile) - adds to the emotional impact of the song. The repeated phrase "本当の恋と云うなら" (if this is true love) underscores the singer's uncertainty and search for clarity. The melody is upbeat and jazzy, contrasting with the melancholic lyrics and giving the song a unique mood.

携帯、スマホがない時代、手紙をよく書いてました。こうしてメールのやり取りがすぐに出来るのは離れてても繋がってる感じがしていいですよね❤️
でも返事が来ないと却ってツラくなるかも…😔
今ならLINEが便利な反面、未読、既読、スルー·ブロックなどストレスになりますよねぇ😣
このビデオ、最初見た時に涙出ました。探してたので良かった～😂
