Gospellers’ Classic and Popular Songs (11–20)

Tokyo SweetGosuperāzu

It’s a slow ballad with a different character from “Dream Girl,” highlighting a gentle, soft touch.

It somehow feels wintry.

Because there are few instruments, the Gospellers’ harmonies really stand out.

Apart from the electric piano as the chordal instrument, there aren’t any other prominent instruments—impressive, isn’t it?

Ice FlowerGosuperāzu

The Gospellers – “Ice Flower (Film ‘The Yellow Elephant’ ver.)”
Ice FlowerGosuperāzu

The theme song for the film Yellow Elephant, based on a novel by Kanako Nishi.

It’s a perfect ballad for the story of two people, each carrying their own past, living in the present as a married couple.

Watching the film makes lines like “reaching out a hand” and “these very days are an endless miracle” resonate even more.

This is the 21st single, released in 2002.

It was also used as the ending theme for the drama “The Life of Professor Yanagisawa, the Genius.” The song has a gentle atmosphere, as if conveying and sharing the sight of a vast, beautiful starry sky with someone dear.

ForeverGosuperāzu

I think many people already know this one.

When it comes to love songs by The Gospellers, this is the one that comes to mind.

With its gentle, relaxed melody, it’s a very pleasant track to listen to.

The harmonies are so powerful they give you goosebumps.

Various artists have also collaborated on it and covered it.

hurricaneGosuperāzu

The Gospellers performed Shannels’ classic “Hurricane,” which starts with a cool bass line and a happy intro everyone’s heard before.

Its groove that makes you want to start dancing and the easy-to-imitate choreography are also appealing.

The lyrics are surprisingly bittersweet, which makes for an interesting contrast.

A Gift of SongGosuperāzu

An 80s pop number by Gosperats, a vocal group formed by Gospellers members Sakai and Murakami together with their great seniors from Rats & Star—Suzuki, Kuwano, and Sato.

Following the old Rats & Star style, Sakai and Murakami also wore blackface, which some thought might reignite that social issue, but there was no particular outcry.

They have continued to perform intermittently, seemingly having fun, in 2006 and 2015.

SeptenovaGosuperāzu

A majestic sports anthem that symbolizes seven radiant hopes.

A collaborative work by The Gospellers and Shintaro Tokita of Sukima Switch.

Released as a single in November 2008, it superbly blends beautiful harmonies with a vibrant, life-affirming band sound.

Chosen as the official theme song for the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2008, it reached No.

10 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

With motifs of the cosmos and stars, it powerfully conveys the importance of believing in your own potential and continually pushing your limits.

It’s a song I especially recommend to anyone about to take a new step forward.
