Ali Project

Fusing the style and music cultures of modern Tokyo, the strap Ali Project contain only two members: composer and keyboardist Mikiya Katakura and vocalist Arika Takarano. Katakura (with some history in traditional music) searched for a vocalist for pop tasks, buying Takarano and starting the group (originally as Ari Task) with an vision toward greater graph achievement. The duo quickly created a persona predicated on Western aristocracy with components of gothicism (linked to the Harajuku subculture), pumping out an intentionally dichotomous mixture of cutesy, sweet pop and darker, even more psychedelic pop (terming the designs “White colored Alice” and “Dark Alice,” once again experiencing the gothic and fairy-tale styles from the Harajuku district’s style claims). As Ali Task are suffering from since their 1988 debut, they possess delved into intensifying rock styles, psychedelia, darkwave, and what they’ve briefly termed “gothic rock and roll,” all well balanced atop a simple basis of J-pop. The music group effectively pumped out theme after theme for numerous anime series over time, additionally producing typically two albums a 12 months privately, charting with many of them. Released in 2008, Keikan Shijin (Poet Laureate) discovered the duo back the Oricon TOP in its starting weeks of launch.
