The duo consists of Arika Takarano (real name: Ari Hironaga, born 28th September 1963 in Kumamoto, Japan, vocals & lyrics) and Mikiya Katakura (born 1st August in Obihiro, Hokkaido, Japan, music).
Never listed as official members, but always mentioned in the albums' booklets, violinists Yu Sugino and Tuyoshi Watanabe are a vital part of this duo.
Katakura met Takarano in 1985 when he just graduated from music school and was looking for a singer. As ARI PUROJEKKUTO, they released their first song Sakura no Hana ha Kuruizaki on a compilation CD named Rebel Street IV ~Some Girls one year later. Their first album Gensou Teien was released in 1988.
However, they made their major debut in 1992 as ALI PROJECT.
In the late 90s, they decided to shift their artistry to a much darker direction which Takarano referred to as a switch from Shiro Ari to Kuro Ari, they stick to the Kuro Ari concept ever since.
ALI PROJECT makes music regularly to this date which is generally highly influenced by Classical music, yet Katakura's love for experimenting is obvious. He makes heavy use of synthesizers and likes to intergrate key elements from other, often contemporary music styles and genres such as Rock, Metal, Hip Hop or even Drum 'n' Bass.
Their music's distinct sound is driven by a well-made mix of synthetic and organic, always complemented by Takarano's highly complex lyrics and clean vocals.
They developed a signature sound for Anime related work though.

ALI PROJECT Lyrics
Cyber Devils タマゴ型ノ寝台ニ 潜リ込モウ満チテクノハ 冷タイ懐カシイ羊水デ ヤットホラネ眠レルンダ スイッチ一ツデ 夢…
六道輪廻サバイバル この肉体朽ち果てて 蟲棲む土となっても 追憶の粒子たち 卵となり蝶となる また死んでまた生まれ 君と出逢えるだ…
暗黒サイケデリック ひとつふたつと夢を 数えていくもんじゃない もっとずっと固く大きく していかなくちゃ 抱えているものは重たい…
欲望 煙る空 融ける雲 私の目に流れ込む 口移しで奪った恋 唾吐いて捨てようか 赤い月 淡い焔 蝋燭が映した影は…
纏われし者ら 心臓太陽牽合う火柱 閃き燦き目裂く錯乱 蘭芯爛熟来世の戦争 早春蒼白創痍の引訣 血管月虹光差の言葉 羽博き…
胡蝶夢心中 そう私を見つめる瞳に もしも恋しさが潜むなら 目を伏せずに受け止めたこと 限りなく優しい罪となる いくつも儚…
若い死者からのレクイエム 青い皮膚の上に滲む 赤い流星のような血を見て 君は何を想う その心にある 目には出来ぬ疵口の さらに深い痛みと …
青嵐血風録 疾風の如く 胸に噛み付く 須臾の想い熱く わが心には蒼き狼 無疵のまま血を流す 迷い惑い彷徨って 意味を…
