About Arika Takarano
- Ali Project (typeset as ALI PROJECT) is a Japanese band with a strong Japanese Aristocrat-style image, consisting of Arika Takarano (?????, Takarano Arika, vocals & lyrics) and Mikiya Katakura (?????, 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 (???, Shiro Ari) to Black Alice (???, Kuro Ari).
- 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.
