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.

心は寄り添って
目に見えぬ歯車が
今君とかみ合った
常識は音をたてて
崩れ去りゆくけれど
何が真実で (I don't know why)
純粋に見極める力が欲しい
嘆く 響く 結局 きつく
締めつける君への情熱
生ける限り 永遠の仕組み
解き明かす旅路へ
I wanna say 采は投げられた
まるで大きな渦に
呑み込まれてく様に
回る螺旋階段 出口は見えないから
現実なんて (I don't know why)
不確かすぎて
(Can't stop my mind)
信じる意味さえも危ういまま
固く 抱く 結束 熱く
今 僕に芽生えた衝動
時に焦り 供に歩み
心は寄り添って
愛情にほど近い感覚で
人はいつでも (I don't know why)
失ってから (Can't stop my mind)
大切なモノを知る 愚かさ故に
無上の祈り 捧ぐほどに
漲る勇気に満たされる
嘆く 響く 結局 きつく
締めつける君への情熱
生ける限り 永遠の仕組み
解き明かす旅路へ
I wanna say 采は投げられた
The lyrics of "Spiral" by Angela talk about the journey of life and the challenges that come along the way. The song is about the ups and downs of life, and how we often find ourselves feeling lost and trapped in a spiral staircase, unable to see the way out.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of love and unity, as the singer talks about the power of love and how it can bring people together. The lyrics mention how, despite the chaos and unpredictability of life, love can help us find stability and comfort in the support of those we care about.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of uncertainty and confusion, with the singer admitting that they don't always know what the future holds. However, there is also an underlying message of hope and determination, with the singer encouraging listeners to stay strong and keep moving forward, even when facing difficult times.

Actually, there are many anime with an Angela opening and each is beautiful. :) It's just a shame when the opening is the best of the entire show.

I KID YOU NOT, I FOUND THIS SONG BY SINGING IT TO THE MIC!
I've been looking for the anime FOR YEARS, not remembering anything about it but the intro to the opening. I remember listening to it so often that it got stuck to my head when i was 11. IM 22, ITS BEEN 11 YEARS OF SEARCH Y'ALL!!!
I'm still baffled. As of right now I still don't know the name of the anime, I'll look it up know, but GOD DAYEUM
