Alice Knows Karate - A fairytale & J-idol inspired alt-pop project by San Francisco Bay Area native Keiko Takamura. Drawing lyrical and conceptual inspiration from an avant-geek palette of indie video games, media properties, and fairy tales, as well her own life experiences, Alice Knows Karate's darkly whimsical “fablewave” aesthetic is a unique and refreshing vision unbound from the need to fit into pre-existing genres and boxes.
