# Garnidelia

## 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 tenth single, "Rebel Flag" was released digitally on January 12, 2019, and received a physical release on March 13, 2019; the song is used as the ending theme of anime series Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka. At the end of August 2019, it was announced that they would leave Sacra Music following their contract expiration in 2019.
