The GARNiDELiA stellacage tour 2021-2022 “Duality Code” tour will hit five cities, and both MARiA and toku have released comments ahead of the tour’s start date. 

 

Comments from GARNiDELiA

This is MARiA from GARNiDELiA. 

I’ve reunited with toku after working solo for a while. 

This is the first GARNiDELiA album release in just over one year. 

I wanted to really express my feelings in this work, and I wanted to do so confidently. 

I’m proud of what we’ve made. 

These songs were written with a brighter future in mind, imagining what it would be like to tour for the first time in two years. I can’t wait to meet you, and share my feelings through the tracks on ‘Duality Code.’ 

   

MARiA

 



After a year, we’re so proud to announce our fifth album!

In the past year, we’ve both worked on our respective solo careers, and we’ve learned so much that we can apply here and now to this new tour and to our music. 

Please listen to ‘Duality Code!’

    MARiA's Comment on World Tour

    “It’s been four years since our Asia tour. Finally…finally…I’ll be able to see all of you.*It’s been a long road, but we survived. We persevered. We’ll show you our real strength. And to those of you who have been waiting and supporting us over the past four years, we’ll be back to sing for you soon and show our love. I’m excited about this tour, which will be filled with miraculous moments where we’ll finally be able to share our feelings and make up for lost time.”

    toku's Comment on World Tour

    “Although we performed overseas plenty of times following our debut, the last few years have kept us from doing so for the first time. We’re so excited to announce this long-awaited opportunity. We can’t wait to perform for our fans in Japan and abroad so we can make up for so much lost time.”  

    MARiA's Comment on Cover Album

    “The GARNiDELiA cover series began two years ago as a way to fill the void created by our tour being canceled. We had a lot of fun while working on it, aiming to pay homage to so many great songs and bringing our own unique twist and color to each of them. I think this was made possible by our diversity. We really played around with the sound for this album, and we’d be so happy if you could listen and enjoy!”

    toku's Comment on Cover Album

    “Everyone has heard so many hit songs during their life. We’ve been lucky to have so much inspiration and to be able to play and have fun with this music. I wonder what kind of chemical changes the two of us can make with these songs. At the start of production, I felt like I was really facing each song with a pure heart, encountering a different form of music than I had in the past, partly as a reaction to our tour being canceled. As singers and artists, we’d be so happy if you’d listen to our interpretation of these classic tracks.” *Maria uses the word for ‘love’ instead of ‘meet.’ Both are pronounced the same way.
