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.
