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.

誰(た)がために 散り行くなら
何に故に

The song "Sidonia" by Angela is a powerful anthem about the struggles, sacrifices, and determination of a knight named Sidonia. The lyrics begin with the question "for whom do I go?" and "if I am to fall, for whom do I do so?" These questions signify the underlying motivation of the knight which is to protect someone or something important to him. The song then delves deeper into the knight's quest for survival and freedom. The line "break it down, Knights of Sidonia" is a call to action for the knights to break down the barriers that stand in their way. The repeated line "for the sake of living" emphasizes the idea that survival is vital and that the knight will fight until his last breath.
The song also touches on themes of destiny, sacrifice, and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics "throw this body out without hesitation" and "heavy responsibility, fatigue, and fate will not defeat me" show the knight's resolve and willingness to give up everything for the sake of his mission. The mention of fallen friends and the need to carry their memory forward adds a layer of emotion and humanity to the otherwise bold and aggressive song.
Overall, "Sidonia" is a powerful and inspiring song that speaks to the universal human desire for freedom, survival, and purpose.

@chachan...
いろんな評価のある曲だけど、その全てを含めて、この楽曲は最高傑作だと思う。
今の時代、こんなにアニメ作品の世界観に沿った曲を作って歌い上げる事が出来る人達なんかほぼ居ないに等しいと思います。(居ないとは言いません)
そしてとにかく、カッコ良すぎです！

i wish the first 20 seconds of the song was way longer, it reminds me of woodkid's songs.
the technopart is ok, but i wish the full song was a similar to a military anthem
