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.

巡り逢えたこの奇跡をたどって
口ずさんだ本気で抱きしめてよ
せめて眠りに堕ちる前に聴かせてほしい

Premium付くくらいいぐっと強く惹き付けて
Theoryを唱えるだけじゃ無意味な存在
二人だけのimagination
邪魔しないでそのTelephone call

口づけの後あなた誰を感じてるの?

月明かりの海で投げ出すくらいのFeeling

思惑通りの結果を望んで
泣いて待ってるのは昨日のあたしだわ
強気な一歩踏み出せたなら後悔はしない

不規則な時間も全部あなたに合わせたわ
いつだって他の約束よりも大事
口先ばかりってこともようやく分かったし
そろそろinspiration 思い出したらどう?

夜明け前の静けさに気付いてるの?
Tears on my pillow

巡り逢えたこの奇跡をたどって
口ずさんだ本気で抱きしめてよ
せめて眠りに堕ちる前に聴かせてほしい

思惑通りの結果を望んで
泣いて待ってるのは昨日のあたしだわ
強気な一歩踏み出せたなら後悔はしない

巡り逢えたこの奇跡をたどって

口ずさんだ本気で抱きしめてよ
せめて眠りに堕ちる前に聴かせてほしい
