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.

この街に教わったの
アスファルトに響いてる
無数の音に酔う
日々変わり映えもなく
過ぎてゆく毎日に
焦りながら life goes on
幸せは気付かぬ間に
近すぎて見失いがちになる現実
これ以上何も望む
物などないと言いながら
誰もが今に満足出来ずにいる
新しい物は
いずれ老いて朽ちてくから
ありえない永遠
人は求めてしまうのね
今を生きて明日に刻んで
出逢いと別れを
ひたすら繰り返してる世界
偶然とゆう必然により
つながってく奇跡眼を閉じて
胸のアンテナで感じて欲しい
限りのない love goes on
愛され愛してこの世界は続いてく
当たり前のようで
本当は奇跡のような ring
巡り巡って明日へつなげ
いつかこの大地に
あたしが溶けてく日も
この世に生きていた
証を残したいと願うでしょう
新しい物は
いずれ老いて朽ちてくから
ありえない永遠
人は求めてしまうのね
愛され愛してこの世界は続いてく
当たり前のようで
本当は奇跡のような ring
今を生きて明日に刻んで
今を生きて明日に刻んで
"Kiseki no Ring" (Ring of Miracles) by Angela is a song about appreciating the beauty of life and its fleeting moments. The song's opening lines reflect the singer's journey through life, expressing hesitation and confusion, which the city taught them. Despite this, they find themselves lost in the sounds of the city, finding solace in the beauty around them. The singer laments the monotony of their daily life, with urgency driving them forward, all while happiness remains elusive.
The lyrics also reveal the harsh reality of human existence, wherein people rarely find contentment and satisfaction in the present. We inevitably desire to hold onto the past, even though new things will age and decay with time. Angela implores listeners not to take things for granted but cherish them while we can and feel "limitless love" as it spills over from the heart.
The chorus centers around the idea of an ever-evolving world filled with a ceaseless cycle of goodbyes and hellos that are crucial to our growth. It emphasizes how people are connected through a ring of miracles, much like a chain of events that seemingly has no beginning or end. The song ends on a hopeful note, urging listeners to live in the present and embrace the moments that make life beautiful.
