ALI PROJECT is a Japanese band formed in 1985 by 片倉三起也 and 宝野アリカ. Built around the duo's collaboration, the project blends progressive rock, rock, and visual kei into a theatrical sound that has remained central to its identity for decades.
Released through EMI Music Japan and presented through the official website aliproject.jp, ALI PROJECT has maintained a long-running presence in Japanese music with a clear visual and musical signature. Its catalog is closely associated with dramatic arrangement, stylized presentation, and the enduring partnership between its two core members, making it a recognizable name for listeners who follow Japanese rock and anime music. The group also stands out because its identity has stayed centered on the same two members, giving the name a consistent meaning for fans who have followed Japanese rock since the mid-1980s. Its association with EMI Music Japan also places it within a major label era of Japanese rock.
