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

It’s a song with the memorable lyric, “Blooming so proudly even to that extent…”.
It’s in a vocal range I could never hit at karaoke.
Comparing oneself to a rose—though destined to wither someday, it conveys the message of never letting you go and loving you always.
You can savor Arika-sama’s voice.
The White Chalk WardALI PROJECT

An insert song from .//hack.
It’s a piece that begins with the sorrowful sound of a violin.
Although Ms.
ARIKA sings it with a gentle, unhurried voice, it isn’t a warm song.
It evokes the image of an adult woman afflicted with an incurable illness, singing by the window under the moonlight.

Pastel Pure, with its elegant melody, leaves a striking impression.
This track was released as a single after originally appearing on the soundtrack album for the school-themed anime Maria Watches Over Us.
It was initially an instrumental, but lyrics were written by the original author, Oyuki Konno, and it was released as a vocal song.
Its gently flowing melody makes it feel as if you’re walking on clouds.
Love, Maiden ~Love Story of Zipang~ALI PROJECT

ALI PROJECT’s ‘Koiseyo Otome ~Love story of ZIPANG~’ evokes a bewitching allure born from the Japanese wa aesthetic.
Though released in the summer of 1992, both its melodic atmosphere and its lyrics are filled with elements that call to mind spring.
As their debut single, this song lets you experience ALI PROJECT’s world in an instant.
The choice of words in the lyrics and the expressions that conjure images of traditional Japan convey a sensual, time-honored wa ambiance.
Highly recommended for those who want to feel a slightly more mature kind of spring!
Sword of the Demon EmperorALI PROJECT
