ALI (acronym for Alien Liberty International) is a Japanese band formed in Shibuya, Tokyo, in 2016, known for their unique fusion of hip hop, funk, jazz, and global influences. The band gained fame through their hit anime soundtracks, including "Wild Side" for Beastars and "Lost in Paradise" for Jujutsu Kaisen. All members of the band are mixed with roots in Japan, Europe, America, Asia, and Africa.
In May 2021, ALI went on indefinite hiatus following the arrest of their drummer, Kahadio, for fraud. After a six-month break, the band returned in November 2021.
As of October 2024, ALI is now a solo project led by vocalist Leo, continuing the band's signature cross-genre sound after the departure of key members Luthfi and César.
