Ali Project (typeset as ALI PROJECT) is a Japanese band with a strong Japanese Aristocrat-style image, consisting of Arika Takarano (宝野アリカ Takarano Arika?, vocals & lyrics) and Mikiya Katakura (片倉三起也 Katakura Mikiya?, music & arrangement).
In the band's earlier days, their musical style tended towards light, cheerful and/or refreshing songs. However, the sound has changed in recent times to take on a darker and more mysterious tone. Takarano Arika, lead singer/lyricist, has termed this change as a transition from White Alice (白アリ Shiro Ari?) to Black Alice (黒アリ Kuro Ari?)[citation needed]. Though there has been a general shift towards performing songs in the 'Black Alice' phase, Ali Project has occasionally sung in the White Alice style as well.
