The Gospellers (ゴスペラーズ) is a five-member Japanese male vocal group formed in 1991 at Waseda University's a cappella circle "Street Corner Symphony". They released the mini album Down To Street from File Records in 1994. After a member change, they made their major debut with the single "Promise" from Ki/oon Records on December 21, 1994.
The single "Towa ni" released on August 23, 2000 and the album Soul Serenade released on October 12 recorded memorable long sales and made a breakthrough. The single "Hitori" released on March 7, 2001 became the first a cappella work to enter the top three in Japanese music history.
The love song collection album Love Notes released on June 6, 2001 was a big hit and recorded million sales. Since then, they have released many hit songs such as "Hoshikuzu no Machi" and "Mimosa".
They released their first best album G10 on November 17, 2004 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their debut.
