Founded in Fall 2023 by Christian Joven Garcia in collaboration with the University of Florida's (UF) Japanese Student Association, The UF Anisong Ensemble is a performance group dedicated to performing anime song (anison) covers for live and virtual audiences alike. Anisong displays well-known anison in a jazz band-like style.
Anisong members collaborate to produce various musical experiences ranging from live performances to fully mixed digital covers, forming a community of musical enjoyment amongst themselves and their supporters.
Studio Mix and Live versions of anison covers are posted to Christian's Youtube channel.
Setlists are chosen per school semester in preparation for performances like UF JSA's end-of-semester banquets.
The JSA Anisong Ensemble is entirely member-centered, prioritizing the individual above all else.
In Anisong, every member can shine in their own way. If you feel you're not shiny enough, contact Christian immediately.
"I cannot express enough just how dear my members are to me. In my head, nothing I've done with this ensemble would be possible without the passion and friendship each member brings.
In this sense, our members are Anisong."
- Ensemble Founder, Christian Joven Garcia
