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.

Follow me Follow you 痛みでさえ
Follow me Follow you 通じ合えば
Follow me Follow you 何処まででも
Follow me Follow you
傷を負った世界を知った
強く儚い果実
つきまとう責任の重たさで
熟れ落ちて土へと還る

Follow me Follow you 痛みでさえ
Follow me Follow you 通じ合えば
この血の滾りを解放して
そこにいますか？
衝突に戦々恐々
降り立つ堕天使
早々に早熟な実も食らい尽くすの？
もがく度に蒼穹に聴いた
僕等は目指した
憎しみは血を巡って
身体はすり減った
もうこれ以上困窮の思惑に
飲み込まれないように行け
Follow me Follow you 何処まででも
Follow me Follow you 信じ合えば
この身の限りを炎上して
あっけなく散るつもりはない
無い無い馴れ合い
有り余った慟哭
葛藤に混乱していく今を生きて
この命が幾何でも僕等は目指した
Follow me Follow you 痛みでさえ
Follow me Follow you 通じ合えば
Follow me Follow you 何処まででも
Follow me Follow you 信じ合えば
Follow me Follow you 痛みでさえ
Follow me Follow you 通じ合えば
Follow me Follow you 何処まででも
Follow me Follow you 信じ合えば
Follow me Follow you 痛みでさえ
Follow me Follow you 通じ合えば
Follow me Follow you 何処まででも
Follow me Follow you 信じ合えば
この血の滾りを解放して
そこにいますか？
衝突に戦々恐々
降り立つ堕天使
早々に早熟な実も食らい尽くすの？
もがく度に蒼穹に聴いた
君を確かめた
あっけない
無い無い馴れ合い
有り余った慟哭
葛藤に混乱していく今を生きて
それでもまだ
僕等は目指した
Follow me Follow you 痛みでさえ
Follow me Follow you 通じ合えば

Follow me Follow you 何処まででも
Follow me Follow you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Angela's song "EXIST" express the idea of following someone through all the pain and anguish, as long as there is mutual understanding and belief. The repetitive use of "Follow me Follow you" emphasizes the idea of staying together through thick and thin. The song speaks of the hardships that the characters have faced, but also highlights their resilience and determination to keep moving forward. They have been hurt and have experienced the weight of responsibility, but they have also gained knowledge and strength from these experiences.

The lines "この血の滾りを解放して　そこにいますか？" ("Can you release the boiling in this blood? Are you there?) and "衝突に戦々恐々　降り立つ堕天使　早々に早熟な実も食らい尽くすの?" ("Frightened of a clash, fallen angels land, consuming even the prematurely ripened fruit?") suggest a feeling of uncertainty and fear, but more crucially, indicate the willingness to face this fear head-on. The characters are ready to face the challenges that come their way, no matter how daunting they might seem.

I play their songs while I’m driving, and then I get so excited that I forget that I’m on my way to work..

Used to play their songs to psych myself up for 12-hour days at the factory! And while working, but was a bit hard to hear then.^^ But those days I was fired up with enthusiasm for life and all the hard work seemed like a step toward better future. I need to recapture that feeling!
