Formed in 1985, they made their indie debut in 1988 with the album “Gensō Teien” (Illusory Garden).

Songs woven from Arika Takarano’s soprano-like vocals and Mikiya Katakura’s meticulous arrangements have been used as theme songs for numerous anime works.

Their costumes and stage productions, which incorporate elements of Gothic Lolita, are also striking, radiating a one-of-a-kind presence in both music and visuals.

The song, which serves as the opening theme for the anime Another based on the novel, is performed by ALI PROJECT.

True to their style, it’s arranged in a gothic rock tone and has a spooky feel that’s perfect for Halloween.

Another is a horror work that depicts strange and terrifying events surrounding the class the protagonist transfers into.

Since it was written specifically for this, the lyrics—which tie in with the story—leave a strong impression.

Still, beyond the eeriness and fear, the song ultimately also sings of hope for life.

ALI PROJECT “Sword of the Demon Emperor” Music Video

The opening song of Linebarrels of Iron.

This is exactly the ALI PROJECT world! That’s the kind of worldview it has.

From the lyrics, to the intricately complex scales and chord progressions, to the meticulous attention to the costumes in the music video, it’s a one-of-a-kind world that fuses Gothic flair, eerie allure, and girlish tastes.

Dead Nation Awakening CatharsisALI PROJECT9rank/position

Catarsis of a Ruined Nation

The final opera-style section is the biggest highlight.

There’s a lot of vibrato.

This one is a well-known song too.

The way the melody is pitched in the middle is in a minor key and extremely difficult.

The chorus is intense.

But it’s still a really cool piece.

I think the level of completion is very high.

War and PeaceALI PROJECT10rank/position

War and Peace

Known for their original sound and literary lyrics, ALI PROJECT is a musical duo consisting of Arika Takarano and Mikiya Katakura, active across a wide range of fields including anime songs, film scores, and commercials.

As its title suggests, “War and Peace” is a song that laments a world where war never ceases and expresses a fervent wish for peace.

In the chorus, Bach’s “Little Fugue in G Minor” is quoted, evoking a grand, philosophical atmosphere drawn from classical music.

The piece conveys both the sorrow and the strength of confronting the absurdity of war.
