A Look Back at GARNiDELiA’s Journey
Formed in September 2010, the unit consists of vocalist MARiA (Mai Mizuhashi) and composer toku (Yoshinori Abe). They made their major label debut in March 2014 under Sony Music’s DefSTAR Records with “ambiguous”, the second opening theme for the anime Kill la Kill.
Over the years, GARNiDELiA became a staple in the anisong scene, performing theme songs for series such as The Irregular at Magic High School, Gundam Reconguista in G, Fate/Apocrypha, BEATLESS, Taisho Otome Fairy Tale, and many more, as well as contributing music to video games. Their discography includes ten singles and six original albums.
The announcement marks the end of an active chapter for the duo, though whether they will return in the future remains uncertain.
