  We discuss the effect of CP violation in the aligned scenario of the general
two-Higgs-doublet model, in which the Higgs potential and the Yukawa
interaction provide additional CP-violating phases. An alignment is imposed to
the Yukawa interaction in order to avoid dangerous flavor changing neutral
currents. The Higgs potential is also aligned such that the coupling constants
of the lightest Higgs boson, which is identified as the discovered Higgs boson
with the mass of 125 GeV, are the same as those of the standard model. In
general, CP-violating phases originated by the Yukawa interaction and the Higgs
potential are strongly constrained by the current data for the electric dipole
moment (EDM). It is found that in our scenario contributions from the two
sources of CP violation can be destructive and consequently their total
contribution can satisfy the EDM results, even when each CP-violating phase is
large. Such a large CP-violating phase can be tested at collider experiments by
looking at the angular distributions of particles generated by the decays of
the additional Higgs bosons.
