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.

The lyrics to Angela's song Kishi Koushinkyoku talk about the struggles of the "Knights of Sidonia" as they battle through space. The song is divided into two sections, with the first part expressing the hardship and fear of their journey, while the second half talks about their renewed determination to continue on their journey.
The first verse describes the fortress that keeps them safe in the vastness of space, while the chorus insists on the strength of the Knights of Sidonia with its repeated chant of "KNIGHTS KNIGHTS KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA Ah Ah." The second verse talks about the fatigue and disillusionment of young soldiers struggling to maintain their resolve in times of adversity.
In the final verse, the Knights of Sidonia are urged to come together under a common goal and to stand steadfast in the face of danger. They are reminded to carry their love and "precious" lives with them into battle, and to continue to move forward by facing their fears head-on.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to keep fighting through what may seem like insurmountable hardships.

The MV is really well made, the music is of course top notch, but the video itself is so amazing as well. Everything from the knight aesthetics, the framing and lighting, the transition between the abandoned knights and the singers is just so well done, the flag and wolves shot is also really cool.
Suho Lee
I loved the MV. Felt like it needs a movie on its own. I loved the manga and the anime of Knight of Sidonia too :3
