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 asteroid Cordelia, which was discovered in 1978, the year of toku's birth.
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. 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. 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. 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. Their debut album Linkage Ring was released on January 21, 2015.
GARNiDELiA's fourth single "MIRAI", which was released on May 13, 2015, is used as the ending theme to the anime series Gunslinger Stratos. Their indie album Birthia was released on August 26, 2015, which contains remade songs that were made before their debut single, such as "ARiA", "SPiCa", and "ORiON".
Their third digital single "Burning Soul" was released on April 13, 2016.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Garnidelia” as japanese musical duo. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese musical duo. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17226517. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 2010, 2014 and 2013.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
