Garnidelia (ガルニデリア) (stylized as GARNiDELiA) is a Japanese music unit signed to Defstar Records,[1] consisting of vocalist Mai Mizuhashi, also known as MARiA, and producer Yoshinoli Abe (阿部 尚徳 Abe Yoshinori, born March 5, 1978), also known as toku.[2]
History
The duo first collaborated on the song "Color", which was used as the opening theme to the 2010 anime television series Freezing. The name of their unit came from the French phrase "Le Palais Garnier de Maria" (Maria's Opera), and the moon Cordelia, which was discovered in 1978, the year of Toku's birth.[2]
In 2014, they made their debut under the major record label Defstar Records with the single "Ambiguous", which was released on March 5, 2014, whose title track is used as the second opening theme to the 2013 anime television series Kill la Kill.[2] Later that year, MARiA collaborated with vocaloid producer Jin and performed the song "Daze", which is used as the opening theme to the 2014 anime television series Mekakucity Actors.[3] Their second single "Grilletto", which was released on July 30, 2014, was used as the second opening theme to the anime television series The Irregular at Magic High School.[4] Their third single "Blazing", which was released on October 29, 2014, is used as the first opening theme to the anime television series Gundam Reconguista in G.[5] Their debut album Linkage Ring was released in late-January 2015. Their fourth single "Mirai", which was released on May 13, 2015, is used as the ending theme to the anime series Gunslinger Stratos.[6] Their indie album Birthia was released on August 26, 2015, which contains remade songs that were been made before their debut single, such as "Aria", "Spica", and "Orion". Their fifth single "Burning Soul" was released on April 13, 2016. It was used as the theme song for the MMORPG game Soul Worker.
