In an interview with Billboard_JAPAN, GARNiDELiA members MARiA and toku look back over their musical journey.

You mentioned Nico Nico Douga. From the beginning, GARNiDELiA placed importance on its connection with the Internet and has been proactive in building its online presence. Why was that?In Japan, “doujin ongaku” [music produced and released by hobbyists] became really popular from around 2002, which led to the rise of the Touhou Project and Vocaloid music.
The duo had been performing live every year abroad as well as domestically until 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic that began around 2020 canceled concerts and events around the world. At first glance, this album appears to be a return to the roots of the band, in the sense that the pair are stepping out together again after their 10th anniversary and respective solo endeavors. In fact, the set is full of powerful rock tunes reminiscent of the “music that stands out in live houses” that toku envisioned when they formed, as well as digital tracks cut out for the current Internet J-pop scene.
I feel confident that I was able to write freely, honestly, and express my real self. In that sense, I put a lot of thought into what feels good and fun to sing on this album. That’s why I want everyone to sing all these songs, too.
