About the song
"ANGEL" is a song by the Japanese duo angela and the first opening theme for the 2013 television anime Coppelion (コッペリオン). It was released in 2013 as the single "ANGEL / 遠くまで," arriving in the same period as the GoHands adaptation of the manga.
The track sits in J-Pop but carries a brisk, high-pressure momentum. angela's vocal lines cut cleanly through a dense, polished backing, while the chorus opens wider than the verses and adds lift without easing the tension. That contrast gives the song a dramatic profile built for motion rather than sentimentality.
In Coppelion, that forward drive matches a story set in a ruined Tokyo, where rescue work unfolds under constant danger. The opening needs to establish both disaster and determination, and "ANGEL" answers with urgency, brightness, and a sense of scale that fits the series' blend of catastrophe and resolve.
