Japanese pop rock duo GARNiDELiA released their third studio album G.R.N.D. on March 28 and are set to hit the road on tour in Japan in July. As well as all of this, it’s been announced that their vocalist, MARiA, will perform at a stage show hosted by Tokyo Girls Collection (TGC).
The name of the show is Tokyo Kabuki Girls and it will be MARiA‘s first shot at performing there since her major debut. It is no ordinary show; this real opera style performance is a rich fusion of Japanese culture, tradition and fashion told through kabuki, song, dance and video.
Produced by TGC, it promises to be a new kind of live entertainment taken to the max, with performances from MARiA as well as popular models dressed as oiran courtesans, artists, Vocaloids, voice actors and more. The show will take place at Shin Kabuki-za in Osaka on September 15-16 this year.
The first string of performers has been announced and includes the likes of popular actress and model Rio Uchida as well as Yuka Ogura and Risa Nakamura who will both appear as guests. A second wave of performers is scheduled to be announced at a later date.
GARNiDELiA will head on their biggest tour to date in July, performing 10 shows solely in venues they have never been to before.
2018 is looking to be a big year for GARNiDELiA, with many new challenges in sight.

Fans in the audience were instantly excited by the announcement of the long-awaited album. More details about the world tour and upcoming album will be announced in January 2023. 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.Information

The famed Japanese musician and producer Tetsuya Komuro and MARiA from GARNiDELiA have released a collaboration track and music video. Trust On Me -Theme of E.T.E- was released on October 16, 2022. The track serves as the theme song for the new mobile game E.T.E. Chronicle, launched by bilibili on October 14. The game’s music was written, composed, and arranged entirely by Tetsuya Komuro. MARiA from the music duo GARNiDELiA provided vocals for the theme, known for her work on a number of anime and game properties. The music is reminiscent of TM NETWORK’s TIME TO COUNT DOWN released 32 years ago, starting with an incredible piano solo and a sense of speed and urgency. Featuring lyrics about trust and faith, the song is a perfect fit for the game. The music video features full 3D game footage interspersed with footage of MARiA and Tetsuya Komuro in the recording studio. “I asked MARiA to provide the vocals because I knew that she could embody the game’s message,” Komuro said. “The most important thing was expressing a sense of speed and femininity.” “I’m so happy and honored to have been chosen to take part in this wonderful and timeless collaboration,” MARiA said. “I hope this song pulls everyone into the world of E.T.E. Chronicle.”
