Thepopularangelaofthethemesongssuchas“FavnaoftheSky”,“K”and“TheKnight of Sidney” was held in Shanghai and Guangzhou on April 19 and April 21, respectively. The special concert of its animated songs, angela Asia Tour 2019 “aNI-SONG”, I believe that the audience who went to the scene have experienced their shock and charm! Anitama This special invited @angela Chinese support club was fortunate to have two interviews in this interview!
—— angela is 26 years old, 16 years of mainstream debut, and said to sing to 100 years old together, the two have always maintained such a good relationship, and can work together to produce a new and influential new work. What have you been doing with each other for so many years? Have there been any differences of opinion and how to solve them when co-creating?
atsuko. . . . . It doesn’t mean that it has been consciously lasting for 26 years, but it has become such a feeling when it is noticed. However, if you are not attached to the animation, you may have already dissolved it. With animated songs as a link, we can only work hard until there is a need for angela. There is also a time when it is different from KATSU. . . . . , but because it is a two-person combination, you can solve the problem face to face. A multi-person band may be harder
KATSU Although the music and animations that you like are not the same, the goals and objectives of angela (2 people) are usually common. Even if there are different opinions, as long as the final purpose is the same, then it is not a problem. Because atsuko is my best opponent and most respected person in the animation industry
—— Compared with the mainstream industry, the field of animated songs is actually very narrow, but the competition is fierce. What is the reason why angela can continue to be active in this field for more than ten years? Please answer with reasons other than “love”
atsuko Although there are new artists who have all the elements of “cute”, “young” and “singing good”, it is still very difficult to continue to survive. Angela, although not all of them, will seriously create original pieces that have not been created by other artists. Since doing the same thing can only be buried, then I want to do something new and excel! I have always been carrying this idea to carry out activities
KATSU As is well known, Japanese animation has various themes such as sports, love, magic, robots, monsters, zombies and so on. Even our angela has always been a style-independent Mixture Band. Being able to control the mix style is exercised before the debut. Jazz, Bossa Nova, folk music, Japanese songs and folk songs are actually very good at it. It feels like this is the most advantageous advantage of our genre (category) in animated songs compared to other singers. For related animation works, extracting those elements to create a unique style is the fun of animated songs
—— Will you consider working with other artists in the future? I also want to work with artists in the future, such as angela×fripSide
atsuko There is currently no, but there are very few opportunities to sing with male artists, I really want to try and sing along with Endo Masaaki!
KATSU Want to work with a male singer. Miyano Shou, Aoi Sho, and Uchida Yuma. All belong to KING RECORDS, is it possible? (laughs).
—— This is also the first time you have come to Guangzhou. What was the most impressive thing when I first came to a new place?
atsuko I don’t have time to play this time, so sorry, I remember there is a lot of green streets. Then, the most important thing is that the rice is delicious! ! It is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten!
KATSU Food in Guangzhou. Although angela has been to the world… but it is. The world is the first. Champion! !
——The theme of this concert is “aNI-SONG”, as the name implies, the theme of animated songs. Animated songs bridge the gap between angela and overseas fans, but angela’s world of work is so vast, and non-animated songs have attracted many fans. For example, the “Faith of the Flour of the Sky” series of Yuhara Xinyi supervision of the favorite “fortunately, せのtemperature” and so on. Is there any plan to bring non-animated songs overseas in the future?
atsuko Actually, I also know the songs outside the animated songs, surprised! ! There are such options. “Fortunately, せのTemperature” is very popular in Japan. I personally want to sing the wind “Yes, summer festivalり” and “Twenty-four knots love” this kind of!
KATSU There is a kind of musical instrument called “three lines” in Japan, and the erhu and yueqin that are passed from China belong to the same category. It is a musical instrument that I am good at except for guitar, so I really want to play in China where I am born! “Yes, summer festivalり” “あの夏空” has used three lines. In particular, “あの夏空” uses a Chinese scale called “Pong Fu Five” to compose music, so I want to let everyone in the local community hear it. The lyrics are the content of “the blue sky of the summer missed”. Everyone in China, if you hear this song can have the same feelings, as a musician, there is nothing happier than this. What! ! This is included in the album Beyond
