angela (アンジェラ) is a two members Japanese pop band founded in 1999 by atsuko and KATSU. In 2008, they started an alter ego band named Domestic Love Band (ドメスティック・ラヴバンド).

Members

  • KATSU (Real name: Hirasato Katsunori - 平里勝敬): Music compostion, Keyboards, Music arrangement, Guitars
  • atsuko (Real name: Yamashita Atsuko - 山下敦子): Music compostion, Lyrics, Vocals

Information

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 independant band, performing in clubs and otherwise, but 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 Soukyuu 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 second album, I/O, was released in November 2004. angela performed at Sakuracon 2005 in Seattle, Washington, and will be performing at CN Anime 2005 in Toronto, Ontario.

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.

Style

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.
