She is also active in rockabilly idol group MELON BATAKE A GO GO and was previously part of goth-metal idol group Re:Alice. Since the beginning, she has had the opportunity to perform several times in the United Kingdom, including the Indie, Idol and Infamous tour in 2019, as well as further into Europe, such as Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>On stage, Yuffie wears a plague mask and dark wings and wields a baseball bat decorated with spikes, making a big impact. An even bigger impact is made from the beginning of the performance to the end, where she comes to bring chaos with a backdrop lined with heavy guitar riffs, aggressive rhythms and charged melodies. She incorporates themes from destruction to rebirth in her music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010MV\u3011GARUDA\u300ePOSER\u300fMUSIC VIDEO\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lQBodoe_wyA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Last November, GARUDA released a new EP titled <em>VOID SERENADE<\/em>.
