We clarify that the soft mode of the di-quark pair field gives rise to a peculiar behavior of the quark dispersion relation and a short life-time of the quasiparticles near the Fermi surface, both of which make a depression of the density of states of quarks. Our result suggests that the appearance of the pseudogap is a universal phenomenon of strong coupling superconductors, irrespective of the dimensionality.4 pages, 4 figures, PTPTeX; Proceedings of Finite Density QCD at Nara July 10-12 2003 Nara Prefecture Public Hall Big Roof Nara Japan; v2:errors in affiliation are correctedHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
