Acknowledgements

An earlier version of this paper was presented in Darren Mueller’s Sound Studies seminar in the fall 2024 semester. I thank Darren for his comments on my presentation and paper, as well as for my peers who asked thoughtful questions that would be reflected in this more polished version! I also thank Poundie Burstein for reading over my proposal, as well as Landon Morrison and Ben Baker for our general discussions on Kyary.
