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.

Angela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hacen guardia a un ataúd
Y en él se encuentra tendido
El cadáver de mi amor
Ay qué velorio tan frío
Qué soledad y dolor
Sólo están los cuatro cirios
Igual que mi corazón
Como sombra vagarás
Y será tu maldición
Que nadie pueda quererte
Igual que te quise yo
Y tendrás que responder
Ante el tribunal de Dios
No se mata impunemente
Y tú mataste mi amor
A través de la montaña
Voy cargando mi ataúd
Y regaré con mi llanto
Una tumba y una cruz
Ay qué cortejo tan frío
Qué soledad y dolor
Sólo están los cuatro cirios
También de luto vestidos
Llorando en mi corazón
Como sombra vagarás
Y será tu maldición
Que nadie pueda quererte
Igual que te quise yo
Y tendrás que responder
Ante el tribunal de Dios
No se mata impunemente
Y tú mataste mi amor
No se mata impunemente
Y tú mataste mi amor
The lyrics of "Cuatro" by Ángela depict a mournful scene where four lit candles stand guard around a coffin, within which lies the body of the singer's love. The imagery of the funeral procession sets a somber tone, highlighting the coldness and loneliness experienced by the singer in their grief. The candles, dressed in mourning attire, mirror the state of the singer's heart, emphasizing the deep emotional pain they are going through.
The lyrics suggest a sense of betrayal and longing as the singer laments the loss of their love. The repeated mention of the four candles and the coffin symbolize the finality of death and the inability to escape the pain of losing someone dear. The singer expresses a desire for their departed love to suffer the same feelings of unrequited love and isolation that they themselves are experiencing.
Through the mention of facing judgement before God, the lyrics reflect a sense of justice and retribution for the act of killing the singer's love. The underlying theme of accountability and consequences adds a layer of moral complexity to the story, highlighting the weight of actions and the need for atonement for one's deeds.
The sorrowful procession through the mountains with the coffin and the singer's tears watering a grave and cross evoke a sense of finality and acceptance of loss. The portrayal of a desolate funeral scene, with only the candles and the singer's grieving heart present, emphasizes the deep sense of mourning and emotional turmoil experienced by the singer. The repetition of the line "No se mata impunemente / Y tú mataste mi amor" emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the lasting impact of the betrayal and loss suffered by the singer.
