1. The Diamonds (Canada). The original vocal quartet consisted of Dave Somerville, Phil Levitt, Ted Kowalski, and Bill Reed. When Kowalski and Reed left they were replaced by Californians John Felton and Evan Fischer.

In the beginning the group practiced several types of vocal styles, including four part "barber style" harmony. The Diamonds began their singing in local clubs, school functions, church socials, and anywhere they could find an audience.

They came to the attention of Coral Records, a subsidiary of Decca Records, where they covered two records, Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots ( a hit for the Cheers) b\w "Nip Sip" (a Clovers song) during the summer of 1955. Neither sold well enough to convince Coral to retain them. However, Bill Randle, an influential Cleveland deejay, liked them enough to mention their name to an executive at Mercury Records. the Diamonds signed with one of the labels that developed the market for "covers."

The Diamonds decision to cover rhythm and blues artist was the result of economic reality: cover records sold very well in markets where the original versions wouldn't be acceptable. Among their hits in 1956 were "Why Do Fools Fall In Love," "Church Bells May Ring," "Love, Love, Love" and "Ka-King-Dong," originally recorded by the Teenagers, the Willows, the Clovers, and the G-Clefs, respectively.

After their run with success in the 50s and 60s they continued performing till the present day.

2. The Diamonds are a brand new popgroup / boyband from Bergen - Norway.

くちづけのその後で
Oh Jelli My Love
やるせない淋しさにおそわれて
ホテルの白い部屋
Oh Jelli My Love
ジョークみたいな別れを告げた
抱きしめても何処か遠く Oh Baby
うつむいてぱかりなんて

お前に何かあったのさ教えてよ
青い瞳の Jelli
恋はつれないゲームのように
変わっていくよ Jelli
さめた声でつぶやく
さみしがりやの Jelli
永遠の恋があると
信じてたのに Jelli
もうこれっきりかい

あの頃の思い出も
Oh Jelli My Love
砂のようにこぼれちまったのかい
ほろにがいせつなさは Oh Baby
何処かの映画みたいに
つじつまの合わない
ラストシーン演じてる
青い瞳の Jelli
恋はつれないゲームのように
変わっていくよ Jelli
さめた声でつぶやく
さみしがりやの Jelli
永遠の恋があると
信じてたのに Jelli
もうこれっきりかい

抱きしめても何処か遠く Oh Baby
うつむいてぱかりなんて
お前に何かあったのさ教えてよ
青い瞳の Jelli
恋はつれないゲームのように
変わっていくよ Jelli
さめた声でつぶやく
さみしがりやの Jelli
永遠の恋があると

信じてたのに Jelli

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Diamonds' song Love Love Love convey the pain and loneliness of a love that has ended. The singer, Jelli, is haunted by memories of a past relationship that has left her feeling empty and alone. She is alone in a hotel room, trying to come to terms with the break-up, but finding it difficult to move on. Despite her efforts to hold onto the belief in everlasting love, she accepts the reality that the relationship has ended and that there will be no reconciliation.

The lyrics use metaphors and imagery to capture the emotional turmoil of a failed relationship. The line "抱きしめても何処か遠く" ("Dakishimete mo dokoka tooku" - "Even if I hold you, you feel so far away") speaks to the distance that now separates the former lovers. The image of Jelli looking down with tears in her eyes, searching for answers, expresses the confusion and heartache of a relationship's end.

The song's chorus, "恋はつれないゲームのように変わっていくよ" ("Koi wa tsurenai geemu no you ni kawatteiku yo" - "Love changes like a cruel game"), sums up the song's theme. Love is depicted as a fickle force that can take away as easily as it gives. Despite the pain and uncertainty, Jelli remains hopeful and determined to find love again.
