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.
Shangri-La

さよなら 蒼き日々よ
流れに身を任せ いつか大人になってゆく

欲望は抑えきれずに
空想にまみれた 「自由」を求め続けた

満ち足りた日々の制圧は
情緒不安定になる

"Shangri-La" by Angela is a song about the pursuit of a utopia – a perfect world where everyone is happy and free, without any restrictions or limitations. The lyrics contemplate the fine line between innocence and wisdom, and how the ignorance of the youth is often followed by the pain and struggle of adulthood. The singers reflect on their past dreams, the mistakes they made along the way, and the valuable lessons they learned from them. The focus is on the free-spiritedness of youth, juxtaposed with the challenges of adulthood.
The first few lines of the song suggest that it is okay to be foolish sometimes, as long as one can follow their dreams. The reference to "traces of our dreams" could indicate that the singers did not achieve everything they wanted, but the journey was still worth it. The following lines talk about entrusting oneself to the flow, which could be interpreted as letting go of control and accepting life's path. The idea of getting dirty little by little and only the ripe fruits being chosen is a metaphor for the struggles of life and how only the worthy ones succeed.
The chorus refers to Shangri-La, a mythical place of happiness and eternal youth – a perfect utopia. The use of "yokubo ga osaekirezuni" translates to "without suppressing our desires," indicating that the singers are willing to go to any length to achieve their dreams. Moreover, the mention of "fantasies" and "freedom" signifies the need for individuality and liberation. The last verse talks about understanding oneself by taking a step back and exploring one's surroundings. The singers recognize that their "unripe heart" did not understand everything, but they have now reached their paradise.
