ALI

ALI is a boundary-pushing project centered around its vocalist LEO, a multicultural artist whose roots span Japan, Spain, the UK, and the Philippines. Based in Shibuya, Tokyo, the group lives by the motto “Long Live Music,” blending the rhythms of funk, soul, jazz, and Latin music with the raw energy of hip-hop, rock, and ska to create a truly genre-crossing sound.

They first made waves with their independently released 2019 single “Wild Side,” which served as the opening theme for the anime BEASTARS. Following this release, they skyrocketed to mainstream success with their first major-label track “LOST IN PARADISE feat. AKLO,” which was chosen to be the ending theme for the global hit anime JUJUTSU KAISEN. MLB star Shohei Ohtani used the song as his walk-up song during his time with the Los Angeles Angels, shining even more light on the band and their work.

In 2022, ALI contributed “NEVER SAY GOODBYE feat. Mummy-D” as the opening theme for the anime Golden Kamuy, and in 2024, their songs “Professionalism feat. Hannya” and “BEYOND feat. MaRI” were used as opening and ending themes for the anime The Fable.
