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.

Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Lordy Ms Clawdy
Somebody tell me why I feel
That things ain't right
Even though what we have is real
I am strong
I create
I put veggies on yo plate
I make love to your soul
We can do this everyday
But it seems like
You ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Been down for so long
Boy I'm trynna tell you how I feel
I got hustle on my mind
But I need to know the deal
You're the light of my life
You're my star
I'm your wife
Let's keep it strong
Let's get it right
Let's keep going
Keep it tight
But it seems like
You ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
How many times I
Said I prayed for
How many times I
Said it's you it's for
Seems like you ain't ready
And I'm just about to lose my mind
The lyrics to Angela's song "How Many Hours" express frustration and anxiety in a romantic relationship where one person feels ready to commit while the other seems hesitant or unsure. The repetition of the lines "How many times I said I prayed for / How many times I said it's you it's for / Seems like you ain't ready / And I'm just about to lose my mind" highlights the singer's desperation and longing for their partner to meet them at the same level of commitment.
The mention of "Lordy Ms Clawdy" in the beginning of the song can be seen as a expression of exasperation or calling out for guidance. It reflects the singer's confusion and quest for understanding why they feel that "things ain't right" even though they believe their love is real. This suggests that despite the authenticity of their connection, there are underlying issues or doubts that are causing emotional turmoil.
The lyrics also emphasize the singer's strength, independence, and efforts in the relationship. Lines such as "I am strong / I create / I put veggies on yo plate / I make love to your soul" showcase their commitment and contribution to the relationship. However, despite their efforts, they still feel that their partner is not ready to fully invest, which adds to their frustration and emotional strain.
The last section of the lyrics reflects the singer's desire for clarity and a resolution. They have been patient and understanding, but now they want to know where they stand. The lines "Been down for so long / Boy I'm trynna tell you how I feel / I got hustle on my mind / But I need to know the deal" express their need for open communication and reassurance. They love their partner and want to keep the relationship strong, but they also need their partner's commitment and effort.
Overall, the lyrics convey the singer's emotional struggle in a relationship where their partner's readiness to commit is lagging behind their own. It captures their frustrations, longing, and desire for clarity, while highlighting the singer's strength and willingness to fight for the relationship.
