Hi there!
My name is Aelita Yoon, and I'm an English dubber of anime songs, as well as a singer-songwriter of originals.
Anisong Bravery got its start on the KimiKon 2019 stage, when *nao and I performed songs that aimed to inspire the audience of all ages that gathered to watch us perform at 11 in the morning.
We didn't expect a crowd. We were barely expecting half the seats to be full, but by the end of the concert, we almost had a full house.
That's inspired me to keep it going - make it a tradition! Mental Health impacts so much of our community, in and out of the con, and yet we're so hard on ourselves and each other when faced with its discussion. Anisong Bravery isn't designed to be a discussion panel or counselling session - it's as much an individual experience as it is a group one. The lyrics are simply meant to inspire, be they an adaptation or originals that we bring to the stage. If the night has inspired you to be a stronger, braver you for the next day, then we've done our job.
I hope that you have a brave day!
