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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そこからは different way
駆け足春一番に
視界もままならない
「今」はすぐに「過去」になり
思い出は美しい
複雑出口探して
期待不安こんがらがる
I must decide by myself
時が経って大人になって
後悔はしないように
「ちょっと待って」って悲願しても
戻れないから
春夏秋冬走馬灯って
誰かが言っていたような
ちょっとドライなフリしちゃっても
こみ上げてくるホロリ
苦さが喉に伝ってゆく
呑み込んだ未来はいつだって無限大
理由なき衝動はねぇ
理解されにくいもの
うまく説明できない
そんな自分が歯がゆい
どこまで行けば
Can I get a satisfaction?
誰にだって岐路があって
迷子になりそうになるよ
本当だってあの偉い人も
言っていたから
用意周到それで気分が
落ち着くのならいいけど
動かなくちゃ結果はやがて
出るものだからキラリ
rough diamond 磨けばほら
行くべき道照らしてくれるはずさ
一人で決めるのが怖いからって
逃げるわけにはいかない
Because It's my life
時が経って大人になって
後悔はしないように
「ちょっと待って」って悲願しても
戻れないから
春夏秋冬走馬灯って
誰かが言っていたような
ちょっとドライなフリしちゃっても
こみ上げてくるホロリ
苦さが喉に伝ってゆく
呑み込んだ未来はいつだって無限大
泣き止んだ朝に降り
注ぐのは Sunshine
