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.
Sail away
Angela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
交わす約束は時を越え
胸の奥の 深い場所で
Sail away その時を待つ
どんな輝きだろう
「頑な」と笑われたならば
ずっとこうして 閉ざしてただろう
この目には 眩しかったんだ
闇を引き裂く様に
惹きつけられていく
宇宙(そら)は彼方 過去と未来
交わす約束は時を越え
胸の奥の 深い場所で
Sail away その時を待つ
どんな輝きだろう
人はなぜ「果て」を見たがるの?
そこへ行く「意味」探すの?
体中 胸を震わせる
憧れから 全て始まる
ねえ「光」 君も迷ったの?
通じ合えるのなら
「いつの日にか大人になる」と
君は伝えたかったのですか?
夢と現実(いま)が 交わる時に
Sail away 動き始める
どんな輝きだろう
ねえ「光」 君も迷ったの?
叶えたいならば
「動き出せ」と聞こえた...
Sail away...
宇宙(そら)は彼方 過去と未来
交わす約束は時を越え
胸の奥の 深い場所で
Sail away その時を待つ
「いつの日にか大人になる」と
君は伝えたかったのですか?
夢と現実(いま)が 交わる時に
Sail away 動き始める
きっと輝きだす
The lyrics of Angela's song "Sail Away" explore themes of longing for the unknown, the intersection of dreams and reality, and the journey towards self-discovery. The opening lines paint a picture of the vast universe stretching beyond time and space, where promises are exchanged and awaited deep within the heart. The repeated phrase "Sail away" hints at a desire to embark on a journey, possibly metaphorical, towards an uncertain but promising future filled with brilliance.
The mention of being ridiculed for being stubborn suggests a vulnerability that is shielded behind a facade of strength. The contrast between being perceived as rigid and the inner yearning for warmth and light reflects a longing for connection and authenticity. The imagery of light piercing through darkness symbolizes the power of attraction and transformation, hinting at a shift from a closed-off mindset to one that is open to new possibilities and experiences.
The questioning of why people are drawn to the concept of "the end" and searching for meaning in reaching that destination delves into existential themes of purpose and fulfillment. The trembling hearts and yearning for something more suggest a search for fulfillment and meaning that ignites the spark of inspiration and drives one towards growth and self-discovery. The reference to becoming an adult and the merging of dreams and reality allude to the passage of time and the inevitable evolution of one's identity and aspirations.
The final verses highlight a sense of encouragement and empowerment, urging the listener to take action and pursue their desires. The call to "Sail away" is a call to embrace change, take the first step towards fulfillment, and trust in the journey ahead. The repeated refrain of the lyrics underscores the cyclical nature of growth and transformation, with the promise of a radiant future awaiting those who dare to set sail into the unknown. The lyrics capture a sense of hope, determination, and the beauty that emerges when dreams and reality converge in a journey towards self-discovery and illumination.
