1) angela is a JPop duo from Okayama, Japan composed of atsuko (lyrics, vocals, musical composition) and KATSU (musical composition and arrangment, keyboards, guitar).
angela has released a grand total of nineteen singles (six on a major label), one maxi single, one promotional CD, four mini CD albums, and five full-length CD albums (one on a major label). Additionally, their music has been featured on other anime-related soundtrack CDs.
Ironically, atsuko and KATSU did not realize that they were both born in the same town of Okayama until they went to the same music school in Tokyo. There, their same origin allowed them to bond together into the earliest incarnation of angela. They decided to work together, and they have come a long way since then.
Originally, angela was an independent band, performing in clubs and otherwise since 1993 and in 1999 they made their debut with the single memories, however this release went largely unnoticed. In 2002, they were signed by KING RECORDS after one of their representatives heard a song that Katsu had improvised from the ever-popular Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis. After that, their debut single, Asu e no brilliant road became the cornerstone of success for angela. This was success that granted them several popular singles for the Uchuu no Stellvia and Sokyuu no Fafner anime series and a popular album, Sora no Koe -- success that granted them even a live concert in the United States at Otakon 2004 in Baltimore, Maryland.
angela's newest album, "I/O", was released in November on King Records and is available.
They are also known for the parapara dance routine which accompanies Asu e no brilliant road that "is very popular in Tokyo" according to angela.
angela performed at Sakuracon 2005 in Seattle, Washington, and will be performing at CN Anime 2005 in Toronto, Ontario
Their live concerts consist of a background layer of music, arranged by KATSU beforehand. At the concert, atsuko performs a vocal track live, as KATSU performs a guitar track live. Therefore, the songs in all of their concerts are pre-determined to a greater extent than other bands.

Angela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
つのる思いよせて
また今日も
一日が終わりを告げて夜が更けてく
君が居ない日常は
まるで色あせてるみたいで
何度となく名前を呼んで
確かめたい 君の存在
届けたい 伝えたい My heart
(Oh my darling
この距離を超えて)
同じ星空見上げてみよう
(オリオンのシャンデリアの下)
つのる思いよせて
「淋しい」と言ってみても
何かが変わるわけじゃないから
ぐっと胸に押し込んで
冷たい風に吹かれてみる
二人はどうなっていくのかなあ
(約束したね)
君の中 あたし居るかなあ
(そう願っている)
ねえ声が聞きたいよ
(少しでいいから) そうしたなら
また頑張れるから
(Oh my darling 一緒に過ごした)
時間があたしの宝物だよ
(その笑顔 その仕草さえも)
今も焼きついてる
何度となく名前を呼んで
(聞こえてるかな)
確かめたい 君の存在
(もっと近くに)
ねえあたし会いたいよ
(少しでいいから) 届けたい
伝えたい My heart
Oh my darling この距離を超えて
同じ星空見上げてみよう
オリオンのシャンデリアの下
つのる思いよせて
(Oh my darling 一緒に過ごした)
時間があたしの宝物だよ
その笑顔 その仕草さえも
今も焼きついてる
その笑顔 その仕草さえも
今も焼きついてる
These lyrics are from the song "Darling" by Angela. The song speaks of longing and missing someone who is no longer present in the singer's daily life. The opening lines describe the scene under a chandelier, symbolizing a dimming and fading daily routine without the presence of the person they desire. The singer repeatedly calls out the person's name, wanting to confirm their existence and expressing their desire to see them.
The chorus expresses the yearning to be with the person, to convey their feelings and emotions. The distance between them is acknowledged, and the idea of looking up at the same night sky, specifically referencing the Orion constellation, is presented as a way to feel connected despite the physical separation. The lyrics acknowledge that even if the singer voices their loneliness, it doesn't necessarily change anything. Instead, they suppress their feelings and try to withstand the cold wind blowing against them.
The bridge section ponders the future of their relationship, wondering if the singer still exists within the person's heart and expressing the wish to hear their voice. The lyrics indicate that just a little bit of contact or reassurance from the person would give them strength and motivation to keep going. The repetition of calling out the person's name reaffirms their desire to confirm their presence and expresses the longing to be with them.
Overall, the song captures the emotions of longing, loneliness, and the enduring memories of a past relationship, while expressing the desire to bridge the distance and be reunited with the person they cherish.
