About GARNiDELiA

Garnidelia (ガルニデリア, stylized as GARNiDELiA) is a Japanese pop rock duo consisting of singer Mai Mizuhashi, better known by her stage name MARiA, and Vocaloid record producer Yoshinori Abe (阿部尚徳), better known by his stage name toku. They are currently affiliated with Pony Canyon Inc. (2021–present).

The unit's name, GARNiDELiA, is an anagram of "Le Palais Garnier de Maria" (meaning "the place where Maria sings") and "Cordelia," an asteroid of the same name discovered in the year toku was born. Maria (sometimes spelled as Meiria or Melia) is a model for various fashion brands and is responsible for GARNiDELiA's artwork and lyrics. Meanwhile, toku is in charge of GARNiDELiA's sound production.
