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.

ボロが出ちゃおしまいだろ
自分らしくあれ all or nothing
不自然な作り笑顔は
どこで覚えてきたんだい
遺伝子は泣いているんじゃない
Hey boy Let's sing 未知なる調べ
I say we can go
翳した手にたった一つの
確固たる自信をつかみ取れ
全てはそこから始まって行くから
叶わぬ夢と嘆く前に
不器用と諦める前に
Please promise me I trust you
限りなき可能性に今こそ
Yell for you
どんなに落ち込んでても
必ず夜は明けるように
悪い事ばかりは続かない
道無き道行くならば
本能に従うまでさ
信じるべきは自分自身
Hey girl 人生は一度きりだ
I say we can go
And have to stand up
与えられた希望だけでは
満足出来なくなってるなら
恐がる必要なんてどこにもないさ
どこから来てどこへ行くのか
不確定だから惹かれるのか
Please promise me I trust you
美しき青春の主役達へ
Yell for you
Hey boy 感性を研ぎ澄ませたなら
聴こえるだろう
I say we can go
It's time to start
翳した手にたった一つの
確固たる自信をつかみ取れ
全てはそこから始まって行くから
叶わぬ夢と嘆く前に
不器用と諦める前に
Please promise me I trust you
限りなき可能性に今こそ
Yell for you
The lyrics of Angela's song 'Yell For You' inspire listeners to pursue their dreams with confidence, emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself and letting go of self-doubt. The first stanza urges against putting on a façade or being insincere, challenging the idea that we need to try and be something we're not to fit in. The line "自分らしくあれ all or nothing" (Be yourself, all or nothing) highlights the importance of authenticity, encouraging listeners to be true to who they are, even if it means taking risks. The song also acknowledges the struggles and failures that come with chasing one's dreams but emphasizes that it's better to try and fail than to give up before even trying.
In the second verse, the song reminds listeners that bad times won't last forever and that even when things seem hopeless, there is always a way forward. The line "本能に従うまでさ 信じるべきは自分自身" (Until you follow your instincts, trust yourself) encourages listeners to trust their instincts and believes in themselves. The song also recognizes the uncertainty of life and suggests that this is part of what draws us to strive for more, saying "どこから来てどこへ行くのか 不確定だから惹かれるのか" (Where we come from, where we're going- is it because it's uncertain that we're drawn to it?)
Overall, the lyrics of 'Yell For You' encourage listeners to embrace their individuality, trust their instincts, and pursue their dreams with confidence- even if they fail along the way.
