Ali Project is a Japanese rock band with a strong Japanese Aristocrat-style image, consisting of Arika Takarano and Mikiya Katakura. The band's work is divided into two styles, which lead singer/lyricist Arika Takarano has termed White Alice for the band's light, cheerful and/or refreshing songs, and Black Alice for songs that take on a darker and more mysterious tone. Though there has been a general shift towards performing songs in the "Black Alice" style, Ali Project has occasionally sung in the White Alice style in recent years as well.
