@cherryglazerrr for books I listed my favorite books (most from young adult book series) and for music I listed K-pop artists as well as Western (indie/alternative) ones that I like
@memeqween101 Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Radwimps, and Ling Tosite Sigure are my favorites. Other good ones are Amazarashi, SID, Uverworld, L’arc-en-ciel, Yui, and Spyair.
Utada Hikaru is a superb individual artist.
@memeqween101 Then there’s österreich and Cö shu nie. They, along with Ling Tosite Sigure, have very interesting sounds.
@memeqween101 If you’re interested in anime music, though, I’d suggest checking out anything written or composed by legendary composer Yoko Kanno and her band, the Seatbelts.
@memeqween101 omg i love indie music! king krule, mac demarco, still woozy, clairo, cuco, and lana del rey are some really extraordinary artists.
@kanagawa button poetry is amazing. It’s one of my favorite youtube channels. rhiannon mcgavin, kevin kantor, blythe baird, olivia gatwood and sabrina benaim are one of my favorite poets and writers.

@memeqween101 ROOKIEZ IS PUNK’D, Bump of Chicken, SID, FLOW, Nico Touches the Walls, SCANDAL, Last Alliance, UVERWorld

Thank you for the effort you invested in completing your application for the 2019 Telluride Association Summer Program. We are sorry to inform you that your application was not one of those selected for interview.
You had tough competition. We received over 1,500 incredibly strong applications for only 60 spaces. Because we wanted to include students from around the country with a range of backgrounds and interests, it was impossible to include all of the exceptionally talented juniors who applied. We wish there were room for at least another 60 students in our programs.
We were impressed with the solid potential evident in your application and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. We hope you will continue pursuing opportunities for academic and intellectual enrichment.
Thank you for your interest in Telluride Association summer programs.
Sincerely
Michael Thornton
Chair, Summer Program Applications and Recruitment Committee
