Masterpieces and popular songs by ALI PROJECT

We’d like to introduce songs by ALI PROJECT, a musical duo consisting of Arika Takarano and Mikiya Katakura.

In ALI PROJECT’s songwriting process, Katakura composes the music first, and then Takarano’s lyrics are added.

Their songs are characterized by features that make a strong impression on first listen, such as frequent chord changes, chromatic progressions, and extensive use of triplets.

Please enjoy the uniquely compelling music of ALI PROJECT.

ALI PROJECT’s classic and popular songs (11–20)

Nameless ForestALI PROJECT

A song with the cute voice of Arika-sama.

A white ant.

It’s an image song for Rozen Maiden’s Shinku.

The melody has a twirling feel, as if inspired by Shinku’s twin tails.

Shinku wanders through a mysterious-space castle, torn between what matters more: her master or Father.

It’s a song that brings such thoughts to mind.

Ryūkō SekaiALI PROJECT

Ali Project – Ryuukou Sekai – 'Ryuukou Sekai' live
Ryūkō SekaiALI PROJECT

When you look at the lyrics, it sounds like a song about women working as sex workers or in hostess clubs.

There’s competition in every world, and trying to win it destroys you.

In the end, it depicts someone telling herself without emotion.

It’s “Black Ant.”

The Rose twinsALI PROJECT

The Rose twinsALI PROJECT

This is a song that evokes those twins from Rozen Maiden, right? It’s a bright piece.

The mention of a canary makes me think it might also be inspired by Rozen.

I feel like it represents the dream of the twins spending happy times without having to fight.

Beijing LoversALI PROJECT

Ali Project – Beijing Lovers – Beijing Lovers
Beijing LoversALI PROJECT

A song where the contrast between the verse and the chorus vocals is intense.

It’s scary.

It’s a song about a woman who’s like a stalker—she wants to abduct the person she likes, tattoo them, and do as she pleases with them.

Why Beijing, I wonder? Did an actual murder case like this happen?

War and PeaceALI PROJECT

A song that begins in fluent English.

The lyrics are the same as in an old movie.

It’s a track with profound words about how love can save people even during war.

The melody is reminiscent of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu—cute and bubbly, in inverse proportion to the weight of the lyrics.

Future EveALI PROJECT

This is the opening song of the anime Avenger.

It features many futuristic terms such as androids and laboratories.

Surely, advancing research and development of such things itself is like being the Eve of the future—an act akin to biting into the forbidden fruit.

ALI PROJECT's famous and popular songs (21–30)

Eat the strawberry pie.ALI PROJECT

ALI PROJECT Eat the Strawberry Pie – Full ver.
Eat the strawberry pie.ALI PROJECT

A song that makes you mistake it for being sung by an idol from the ’80s.

Termite-like—or rather, it’s radiant.

If you convert the lyrics so that “strawberry pie” = “human,” it turns dark.

It’s scary if you think of it as a psychopath killing the person they loved and continuing to love the now-motionless corpse.
