Ars Nova is a progressive rock band founded in Japan in 1983. The band's style is characterized by its complex musical arrangements and heavy use of keyboards, inspired by the likes of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Notably, Ars Nova is comprised entirely of female members, with Keiko Kumagai, a virtuoso keyboard player, at the core of the group. Their most influential works include "The Goddess of Darkness" and "Android Domina", both of which have contributed significantly to the neo-progressive rock genre.
