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)

Sweet

濡れた瞳で見つめる女性は
その指先が僕に囁く
灯を消して口づけ交わす
身体揺らして永遠の夜に
このまま互いを求めあう
(このまま) 一つに溶けてゆく
(このまま) 夜が明けるまで
切なく誘う今宵の僕は

その唇が恋慕(おも)いを探る
月の光が照らす窓辺で
きつく抱き合い永遠の夜に
このまま互いを求めあう
(このまま) 一つに溶けてゆく
(このまま) 夜が明けるまで
背中に回した手の温もりを
もう離さない
あなたの汗の匂いと溜め息
いつまでも
僕の全部で感じよう
身体焦がす程
シルクの海の底堕ちてく
堕ちてく
このまま心で求めあう
(このまま) ふたりで堕ちてく
このまま夜が明けるまで
朝日が二人別つまで
このまま夜が明けるまで

ふたりいつまでもどこまでも
このまま堕ちて< ...

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Sweet" by ゴスペラーズ. The song portrays a passionate and intimate moment between two individuals. The woman, with her wet eyes, gazes intensely at the man. Her fingertips whisper to him, and they turn off the lights and share a kiss. Their bodies sway in the eternal night, as they continue to desire each other. They melt together as one, seeking each other's love until dawn.

In this moment, the man longingly explores the woman's lips, seeking her affection. The moonlight illuminates the windowpane, as they tightly embrace each other in the eternal night. The warmth of their hands on each other's backs will never be let go. The scent of her sweat and sighs linger in the air. The man wants to feel everything about her, as their bodies burn with desire. They descend into the depths of a silk sea, completely surrendering to their passions.

They continue to seek each other with their hearts, falling together as they both go deeper into their desires. They want to stay this way until the morning comes, until they are separated by the rising sun. However, they hope to be together forever, no matter where they are.
