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 rose to mainstream success with their major-label track "LOST IN PARADISE feat. AKLO," which was chosen as the ending theme for the anime JUJUTSU KAISEN. MLB star Shohei Ohtani used that song as his walk-up song during his time with the Los Angeles Angels.

In 2022, ALI contributed "NEVER SAY GOODBYE feat. Mummy-D" as the opening theme for the anime Golden Kamuy. In 2024, their songs "Professionalism feat. Hannya" and "BEYOND feat. MaRI" were used as the opening and ending themes for the anime The Fable. In 2025, their song "CASANOVA POSSE" was chosen as the opening for the first part of the fourth season of the anime Dr. STONE.

In 2026, Awich × ALI "Golden Horizon" was chosen as the theme song for Golden Kamuy (theatrical preview arc "Sapporo Beer Factory Arc") and as the anime's opening theme. In April 2026, "FUNKIN' BEAUTIFUL feat. ZORN" was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime "Eren the Southpaw."

With a strong international presence, ALI has performed across the U.S., Argentina, and Brazil, and completed an Asia Tour in 2025. They appear at major festivals and perform live every year in multiple countries. Their performances and cross-cultural sound continue to defy conventions, break barriers, and unite fans across the globe.
