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 ↴
Tudurutduttutooo
Sa isang pangarap
Napakalayo ng tingin
Bakit napakalayo ng pangarap
Ngunit hindi mapiipigilan kahit
Sino man sa ‘kin iharap
Mailap, ‘di isang iglap
Kahit maagap, mahirap
Tinatanggap hamon na
Magsusumikap
Ilang beses pa mang masasaktan
Magpapatuloy lang
Sa isang Pangarap
Na mailap parang kay hirap abutin
May isang pangarap na tinatahak
Mahirap man tuloy tuloy
Tuloy ko lang
Umiiyak ka na naman mahal
Lagi na lang ika'y nasasaktan
Hindi kita iiwan
Hindi pababayaan
Hinding hindi ka sasaktan
O akin ka na lang
Pangarap ko ay ang pangarap mo
Iaalay sa yong syang unang nagbigay
Ng tiwala’t pagmamahal na walang kapalit
Nang Dahil sa yo’y mabubuo
Ang pangarap ko
Tara, ohhh ohhhhh ohhhh
Kabataan
Tara simulan mo na
Tena-a bagong pag-asa
Tara tena, o kabataan ang galing naman
Simulan pagbabago sa bayan
Tara tena
tara wag kakabakaba
Tena, oo may laban ka
Galingan, sipagan, paghusayan, panawagan, kabataan
Sa Isang Pangarap, ako'y naniniwala
Ako ay lilipad at ang lahat makakakita
Patuloy ang pangarap
Tooo dooo tooo doooo
Tudurutduttutooo
Sa isang pangarap
Napakalayo ng tingin

Tinatanggap hamon na
Magsusumikap
Ilang beses pa mang masasaktan

Repeating melody to set the tone and create anticipation
Tudurutduttutooo
Continuation of the lively and upbeat melody
Sa isang pangarap
In one dream; aspiring for something greater
Napakalayo ng tingin
The dream seems so distant and unreachable
Bakit napakalayo ng pangarap
Why is the dream so far away?
Ngunit hindi mapiipigilan kahit
But it cannot be stopped, no matter what
Sino man sa ‘kin iharap
Whoever stands in my way
Mailap, ‘di isang iglap
Elusive, never in a blink of an eye
Kahit maagap, mahirap
Even though it's difficult to be prepared
Tinatanggap hamon na
Accepting the challenge and
Magsusumikap
Striving hard
Ilang beses pa mang masasaktan
No matter how many times I might get hurt
Magpapatuloy lang
I will keep going
Na mailap parang kay hirap abutin
Elusive, like it's so difficult to reach
May isang pangarap na tinatahak
But there's one dream that I'm pursuing
Mahirap man tuloy tuloy
Even if it's always difficult
Tuloy ko lang
I will just keep going
Umiiyak ka na naman mahal
You're crying again, my love
Lagi na lang ika'y nasasaktan
You always get hurt
Hindi kita iiwan
I won't leave you
Hindi pababayaan
I won't neglect you
Hinding hindi ka sasaktan
I will never hurt you
O akin ka na lang
You belong to me
Pangarap ko ay ang pangarap mo
My dream is your dream
Iaalay sa yong syang unang nagbigay
I will dedicate it to the one who first believed
Ng tiwala’t pagmamahal na walang kapalit
With unconditional trust and love
Nang Dahil sa yo’y mabubuo
Because of you, it will be fulfilled
Ang pangarap ko
My dream
Tara, ohhh ohhhhh ohhhh
Come on, ohhh ohhhhh ohhhh
Kabataan

Tara simulan mo na
Come, start it now
Tena-a bagong pag-asa
Hold on, a new hope
Tara tena, o kabataan ang galing naman
Come, hold on, oh youth, you're amazing

Excel, work hard, strive, call, youth
Sa Isang Pangarap, ako'y naniniwala
In one dream, I believe
Ako ay lilipad at ang lahat makakakita
I will fly and everyone will see
Patuloy ang pangarap
The dream continues
