關於 again yui 單 曲 ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

大家晚安💛

9/18 - 9/20北上參加的四場『ATT e Life 秋の動漫學院祭』將統一打在這篇
所以照片跟內容會有點多，不好意思🙏💦

首先要先感謝主辦 ATT e Life 、協辦 TiL - Taiwan idol Live
及現場每一位工作人員和攝影大大們
連續四天整天待機辛苦了！謝謝你們默默守護&維持活動的進行！

特別感謝支援三天小精靈兼9/19合作夥伴的泥鰍
一直以來承蒙很多的照顧
希望之後也能繼續合作下去

也非常感謝每一場來玩來應援的大家
能在連假見到你們的感覺真好，快樂到可以暫時忘記疫情所帶來的困擾
謝謝你們總是願意用肢體、聲音來回應演出
謝謝你們給我力量🙏

上上週三晚上得知新營甜蜜節及另一場未公開活動取消後
就速速轉移目標戰場狂練狂背
除了原創跟兩首偶像曲以外的歌詞幾乎都需要重新下載 ←可撥ㄉ記憶
瞬間掉進歌詞地獄最底層XDDDD
大家做事真的要腳踏實際一點
不然就會像蕉蕉現在這樣現世堡吃好吃滿嗚嗚嗚
(註：Ruka Banana從國小就開始技術逃避各種背誦型作業)

SOLO的三場裡開了睽違兩年的ワルキューレがとまらない、トリカゴ
跟兩年前不同的地方大概是
以前ワルキューレがとまらない副歌是邊跑邊唱
這次是盡量做振付け，盡量(
トリカゴ不知道是不是因為音域轉變的關係
所以唱起來的感覺跟兩年前明顯不同
是說，真希望自己的音域能夠再廣一點☹️←正在慢慢努力

9/19(日)晚場是相隔半個月的師徒合作
這次合作機會來得很快速
辛苦泥鰍為了幫我多爭取時間，
所以在一兩天內趕出第一版讓我開始練習了
萬分感謝！！！
這次組曲放了兩首新歌
分別是勇気100％及STAY GOLD
泥鰍排完歌單說他很意外我竟然沒唱過勇気100％
嗯............我也有一點意外XDDDD
跟師父合作就是會有滿滿懷舊動漫
氛圍上算是挺有安全感的(?)
事後得到了一些回饋，萬分感謝
也有表演者特別提蕉蕉聲音很適合唱90動漫OP，謝了窩好開心(認真)

因為第一天(9/18)的演出是SOLO以來第300場演出
所以連續三天的物販都贈送紀念徽章
謝謝每一位來物販得到它的人
真的沒想到自己可以送這麼多顆徽章出去
還認識了不少初見，
能夠在這麼有意義的數字下開始我們的緣分也是種浪漫～
有蕉農很開心的說自己初見蕉蕉時剛好是第200場演出
能夠在第300場說聲恭喜真是太好了←差點沒爆哭

謝謝你們願意跟我一起慶祝這個特別的時刻
每一個人對自己第一句話都是恭喜300時，當下很難以形容心中的澎湃
有種"啊.....自己走到這裡了嗎？"的感慨+被這麼多溫柔所包覆的幸福感
跟好多好多人聊到彼此第一次見面的大小事
尤其有幾位是從蕉蕉0舞台經驗就開始看著自己一路跌跌撞撞到現在😂
聽著、說著這些都好感動好想哭
謝謝你們珍藏著這些回憶
也謝謝你們願意陪在我身邊一起前進
在我不相信自己時，總是適時給我信心及勇氣
之後也請多多指蕉

為了能成為讓你們蕉傲的表演者
必須繼續精進各方面的表現才行
頑張ります💪

難得發了一篇這麼晚的更新
可以放心去睡覺了
大家晚安
明天上班上課加油哦
Good night and don't forget how much I love you.

拒絕任何動物表演行為
去泰國不要騎大象看大象表演🐘

(English version below)
前陣子因為朋友阿莫去了趟大象志工，講述了許多故事與知識，覺得非常必須統整起來跟大家分享...(文長)。---at Elephant Nature Park(ENP)

▲簡單的認識是:
不鎖、不勾、不騎、不沖涼、不馬戲

Simple check list for elephants:
NO chain, NO bullhocks, NO ride, NO bath, NO performance

▲兩個關於大象的經歷:
🐘Mae Yu
1984年生
數度被強迫交配、搶走小孩，加上過度工作前腳受傷無法行走整體狀況極差，在被救援後不管大家如何努力她都沒有求生意志... 在嘗試各種方法後，大家決定幫她找回孩子。

非常幸運的，真的在馬戲中找到她的孩子Boi。
在他們相見那天，他們叫喊聲是響遍山谷的，維持許久(工作人員甚至也從沒聽過那樣的叫聲)，他們相認相擁。終於Yui恢復進食，狀況才慢慢好轉。

他們真的真的非常幸運...因為被勞役、被拿來娛樂的甚至還有數千隻，他們有許多老了、跛了、瞎了，還有心理出狀況的。

🐘Mae Boonjan
在多次受孕後，最後一次生小孩時因為知道自己的孩子又快要被帶走，讓他想踩死自己的小孩Zuki，被馬戲訓練師制止並帶走。

在多次的打擊和崩潰而精神出了問題的Boonjan，在被救援後也還是無法與其他象和平共處，目前在林中依然獨處孤獨的生活著。

雖然ENP將Zuki找回，但也許因斷奶太久，Boonjan並不太認得自己的小孩，加上Zuki天生的缺陷也讓他不久後就夭折了。

被救援的象並不是免費的，在泰國一隻小象就要200萬泰銖，就算沒有利用價值的老象也要價幾十萬，因為他們還是可以被迫受孕，或奪走象牙、製作皮包.......。

*2/24 經歷更新：
在ENP陸續救援的數十隻象中，大部分都願意重新相信人類，但也會有無法平息苦痛與怒火的象⋯。例如其中一隻已傷害了不少人，在救援後甚至會試圖將靠近柵欄的人捲進去。

⋯過去他在馬戲工作，因選擇反抗而被戳瞎了眼(為了讓他失去方向感而乖乖就範)，後來剛烈的他也許帶著赴死決心更強烈的反抗，導致他連左耳都被割下半只，最後被麻醉制服。人們不敢再靠近他，也決定要活活餓死他。

他的怒火，或許帶著超越我們想像的恐懼⋯。
被救援的他還是走來走去、發出尖叫聲、並試圖脫離圍欄。我們能同理，卻也真的無法體會他過去所承受的痛苦。

▲更多的是:
1. 香蕉對大象而言就像人類的甜食，其實吃多了也不好。
2. 大象用氣味辨識人，像聞鞋子、腳。

3. 大象甩耳是為了散熱，因耳朵遍布血管所以散熱快，並幫助身體降溫。

4. 大象有些喜歡玩水，但也有不喜歡的，而且會怕冷。他們喜歡泥巴浴可以保濕、驅蚊，觀光行程中的幫大象洗浴容易導致皮膚乾燥甚至潰爛。

5. 正常的象是有弧度的山丘狀背部，他們的脖子、象鼻強壯，可捲起500kg重物。但象背很脆弱，終年被騎乘下來背部會塌陷，有些甚至會導致膝蓋無法彎曲，連睡覺都要站著。

6. Phajaan儀式，會將象單獨關進一個只能站立的木製牢籠，除了剝奪水和食物外，他們還會不斷撥放噪音讓象保持清醒。

用尖銳的竹籤或釘子刺進他的腳趾、用象勾劃破耳朵。早晨和傍晚還必須被象勾抽打一小時。當象虛弱得無法站立時還會套上繩索勒住他們的頸部。

Phajaan 就是毀壞，摧毀象的意志，讓他們崩潰...再利用恐懼來進行"訓練"。而訓練的每一天都還是持續地被折磨...。

7. 被囚禁的他們運氣好的話一天能喝5-10公升的水(原應是140-200)，只有乾棕櫚葉可吃。很多不聽話的象甚至被打斷腿...。

8. 大象強暴：許多象媽媽是被強迫交配的，他們的身心受到極大傷害，甚至一聞或看到公象就會拼命逃跑，但同時因為被鐵鍊鍊住的狀態導致他們臀部塌陷後肢殘障(Bualoi is one of them)。

9. 小象除了爸媽之外還有保母，保母會擔起照顧的責任亦步亦趨。爸媽一定會盡全力保護小象，反抗盜獵者的最後可能就是被殺掉...包括保母，他們才能帶走小象。

10. 被救援的象恢復期可能需要1-2年才能回到[較健康]的狀態，有些甚至在被解開鐵鍊時會強烈驚慌害怕到尿失禁，有人靠近就會要自己舌頭，也完全不敢進食⋯。

*2/28更新：
Ploy Thong 雙眼失明，估計約30歲，他於泰國芭堤雅待了16年，日復一日從大早到日落的載著遊客，用象鼻嗅探方向。在更早之前也曾待在馬戲團中。

在解救Bua Keaw時大象基金會的志工注意到Ploy的痛苦而與他的主人進行談判，終於去年(20180203)被ENP營救。到達象園的他發出低沈的聲音，吸引了在不遠叢林中的象群，他們都紛紛趕上前去迎接他，大家用象鼻親切的撫摸這隻盲象，象鼻纏繞著彼此。猜想他必定永遠不會忘記新家庭成員們的溫暖。(如有興趣可關鍵字搜尋Ploy Thong，此段有影片紀錄）

▲小插曲：
隔著一條河，位在ENP對面的即是以營利為目的的象營。可以看到他們一天到河邊洗了好多次澡，皮膚脆弱乾燥常常有傷口。那的象伕腰間掛著長勾，讓大象學人的姿勢坐下跪下以方便大家拍照，最後再讓他們騎上他的背，一次幾百塊。

阿莫問了ENP的工作人員：「難道都沒有大象逃跑過來嗎？」
他說：「幾個月前有一隻小象逃了過來，當時所有大象都停下動作，並走向這個孩子。

但很快的，他就被對面的公司捉回去了。當晚對面的河岸邊傳來小象的哭喊尖叫，而接下來的一個禮拜他都沒有再出來載客。(通常會被關在籠中防止逃跑，禁食挨餓，也免不了毒打)

那晚，園裏的大象們到了睡覺時間依然躁動、議論著、很不平靜。大家心裡也都十分難受卻都無能為力，因為一隻小象要價上百萬，而救援清單中還有200多隻狀況更緊急及情況更糟的大象們⋯。

除了希望大家把資訊傳遞出去外，也能一起祈求這隻小象、及其他還在受傷害的象們都能被更善待、被釋放，回歸自由與平安。

*象園中的大象們很多在ENP中有詳盡記錄，如果想認識他們也能到網站上搜尋，或想參與志工也能聯繫：www.elephantnaturepark.org

▲Two elephants experiences
🐘Mae Yui
''Mae Yui was the first elephant we rescued for this project. At that time, she was emotionally very ill. No matter how hard we tried to treat her wounds, she didn’t care. No willingness to thrive.

Mae Yui was forced to mate for three times and each time, her babies were taken away by the mahouts to undergo "Phajaan". Last time afterwards, she refused to work. That’s why the previous owner sold Mae Yui.

Fortunately, ENP actually found Mae Boi, the young baby of Mae Yui.

When Mae Yui and Mae Boi reunited. The moment they saw each other, they were roaring so loud, for so long. Anyone who heard that can deeply understand elephants are highly sentimental animals.

Once her baby Mae Boi returned, Mae Yui recovered shortly.''

🐘Mae Boonjan
The past of Mae Boonjan was as tragic as Mae Yui. She has been forced to breed for a few times in the industry (conventional practice). When she gave birth to her last baby Zuki, she knew the trainer would come and take it away soon. Or maybe Zuki was born disable - Mae Boonjan decided to kill her own baby.

And of course her mahout won’t let her do that (commercial considerations) – he stopped her and took away Zuki. Later ENP also rescued Zuki. However they separated for too long and Mae Boonjan could hardly remember Zuki. They didn’t make the bonding again. Since Zuki was born with defects, it died soon.

Mae Boonjan didn’t go along well with the group. She prefers to roam around on her own, quietly in the jungle.

The rescued elephant are not for free. In Thailand, a baby elephant will cost 2 million baht. Even if the old elephant without value is worth hundreds of thousands, they can still be forced to conceive, or take away ivory or make leather bags. ....

*2/24 update:
Among the dozens of elephants rescued by ENP, most are willing to believe in human beings again, but there are also some that can not calm the pain and anger... For example, one of them has hurt many people, even tried to involve people who near the fence after rescue.

In the past, he worked in a circus and was stabbed blind for choosing to resist (he was obedient in order to make him lose his sense of direction). Later, he might have the determination to die, and resist even stronger, which led to his left ear being cut off, and the end he was overcome by anesthesia. People were afraid to be closer any more and decided to starve him to death.

His anger, perhaps with more fear than we can imagine...
Now he was still walking around, screaming and trying to get out of the fence. We can understand, but never can really feel the pain he has experienced in the past.

▲ More is:
1. Bananas for elephants are like our sweets.
2. Elephants use smell to identify people, like shoes and feet.

3. Elephant's ear is for heat dissipation. Because the ear is spread over the blood vessels, it dissipates heat fast, helps body cool down.

4. Depends on different personality, some of elephants love playing in water, some not, also, they are afraid of cold. They love mud baths to moisturize and repel mosquitoes. “Elephant bath” for tourist can easily lead to dry skin and even ulceration.

5. The normal elephant back is a curved hill-shaped. Their neck and trunk are strong and able to roll up 500 kg. However, the back is very fragile. When be riding all the year round, elephant's back will collapse. Some will even cause their knees unable to bend, that they can only stand sleep.

6. The Phajaan ceremony will separate the elephant into a wooden cage that can only stand. In addition to depriving water and food, they will continue to release noise to keep the elephant awake.

Use a sharp bamboo stick or nail to puncture elephant's toes and use bullhock to cut ears. Be beaten for one hour every morning and evening. When elephants are too weak to stand, they will put on the ropes to hold their necks.

Phajaan means ''destroying'', destroying elephant's mind, letting them collapse... so they can "train" them by fear. And training is still being tortured...

7. If they are lucky, they can drink 5-10 liters of water a day (it should be 140-200), and only dry palm leaves can eat. Many of the disobedient elephants even had their legs broken.... (Bualoi is one of them)

8. Many mothers are forced to mate, their body and mind are greatly hurt, when they smell or see the male elephant, they will straight run hard, but at the same time, because of the chained state, their hips collapse and hind limbs are disabled.

9. In addition to the parents, the baby elephant has a babysitter, and the babysitter will take responsibility for the care. Parents will do their best to protect family. The last thing to fight the poachers is to be killed...including the babysitter, so poachers can take baby elephant away.

10. The recovery period of the rescued elephants may take 1-2 years to return to a [healthier] state, and some will be super terrified when the chain is untied.

*2/28 Update:
Ploy Thong, blind, around 30 years old, spent 16 years in Pattaya, Thailand, taking tourists day in and day out from dawn to sunset, sniffing directions with his trunk. He had been in the circus before.

In rescuing Bua Keaw, elephant foundation volunteers noticed Ploy's suffering, so they negotiated with his owner. Finally, Ploy was rescued by ENP last year (20180203). When he arrived the park, he made a low voice, which attracted the elephants in the forest not far away. They all came up to meet him. They caressed the blind elephant with their trunks and wrapped them around each other. Guess he would never forget the warmth of his new family. (if you are interested, please search keyword Ploy Thong, this section has a video recorded.)

▲ Episode:
Across the river, opposite ENP, is a profit elephant camp. You can see elephants showering many times a day by the river, their skin weak, dry and with cuts. And man with a long hook around his waist, he let elephants knelt down like human so that everyone could take pictures, then let them ride on his back (hundreds of dollars at a time).

Amor asked the ENP staff: "Didn’t any of the elephants escape?"
"A few months ago there was a baby elephant run away, that time all the elephants stopped and went to the baby," he said.

But soon, he was caught back. That night the baby elephant screamed and cried loud across the river, and he did not come out to take any passengers for a week. (they were often kept in cages to prevent escape, starved them, fasted and beaten)

That night, the elephants were still restless, and talking at bedtime. There's nothing we can do for it, because a baby elephant costs millions of dollars, and there are more than 200 elephants on the rescue list who were in more urgent or worse conditions...

In addition to hoping that everyone can pass on the information, please also pray for this baby elephant and other who injured, to be treated better, released, and return to freedom and peace.

* Many elephants in the ENP have detailed records, if you want to participate in the volunteer or knowing these elephants please do search or contact: www.elephantnaturepark.org

隔著一條河，位在ENP對面的即是以營利為目的的象營。可以看到他們一天到河邊洗了好多次澡，皮膚脆弱乾燥常常有傷口。那的象伕腰間掛著長勾，讓大象學人的姿勢坐下跪下以方便大家拍照，最後再讓他們騎上他的背，一次幾百塊。

阿莫問了ENP的工作人員：「難道都沒有大象逃跑過來嗎？」
他說：「幾個月前有一隻小象逃了過來，當時所有大象都停下動作，並走向這個孩子。

但很快的，他就被對面的公司捉回去了。當晚對面的河岸邊傳來小象的哭喊尖叫，而接下來的一個禮拜他都沒有再出來載客。(通常會被關在籠中防止逃跑，禁食挨餓，也免不了毒打)

那晚，園裏的大象們到了睡覺時間依然躁動、議論著、很不平靜。大家心裡也都十分難受卻都無能為力，因為一隻小象要價上百萬，而救援清單中還有200多隻狀況更緊急及情況更糟的大象們⋯。

除了希望大家把資訊傳遞出去外，也能一起祈求這隻小象、及其他還在受傷害的象們都能被更善待、被釋放，回歸自由與平安。

▲Two elephants experiences
🐘Mae Yui
''Mae Yui was the first elephant we rescued for this project. At that time, she was emotionally very ill. No matter how hard we tried to treat her wounds, she didn’t care. No willingness to thrive.

Mae Yui was forced to mate for three times and each time, her babies were taken away by the mahouts to undergo "Phajaan". Last time afterwards, she refused to work. That’s why the previous owner sold Mae Yui.

Fortunately, ENP actually found Mae Boi, the young baby of Mae Yui.

When Mae Yui and Mae Boi reunited. The moment they saw each other, they were roaring so loud, for so long. Anyone who heard that can deeply understand elephants are highly sentimental animals.

Once her baby Mae Boi returned, Mae Yui recovered shortly.''

🐘Mae Boonjan
The past of Mae Boonjan was as tragic as Mae Yui. She has been forced to breed for a few times in the industry (conventional practice). When she gave birth to her last baby Zuki, she knew the trainer would come and take it away soon. Or maybe Zuki was born disable - Mae Boonjan decided to kill her own baby.

And of course her mahout won’t let her do that (commercial considerations) – he stopped her and took away Zuki. Later ENP also rescued Zuki. However they separated for too long and Mae Boonjan could hardly remember Zuki. They didn’t make the bonding again. Since Zuki was born with defects, it died soon.

Mae Boonjan didn’t go along well with the group. She prefers to roam around on her own, quietly in the jungle.

The rescued elephant are not for free. In Thailand, a baby elephant will cost 2 million baht. Even if the old elephant without value is worth hundreds of thousands, they can still be forced to conceive, or take away ivory or make leather bags. ....

*2/24 update:
Among the dozens of elephants rescued by ENP, most are willing to believe in human beings again, but there are also some that can not calm the pain and anger... For example, one of them has hurt many people, even tried to involve people who near the fence after rescue.

In the past, he worked in a circus and was stabbed blind for choosing to resist (he was obedient in order to make him lose his sense of direction). Later, he might have the determination to die, and resist even stronger, which led to his left ear being cut off, and the end he was overcome by anesthesia. People were afraid to be closer any more and decided to starve him to death.

His anger, perhaps with more fear than we can imagine...
Now he was still walking around, screaming and trying to get out of the fence. We can understand, but never can really feel the pain he has experienced in the past.

▲ More is:
1. Bananas for elephants are like our sweets.
2. Elephants use smell to identify people, like shoes and feet.

3. Elephant's ear is for heat dissipation. Because the ear is spread over the blood vessels, it dissipates heat fast, helps body cool down.

4. Depends on different personality, some of elephants love playing in water, some not, also, they are afraid of cold. They love mud baths to moisturize and repel mosquitoes. “Elephant bath” for tourist can easily lead to dry skin and even ulceration.

5. The normal elephant back is a curved hill-shaped. Their neck and trunk are strong and able to roll up 500 kg. However, the back is very fragile. When be riding all the year round, elephant's back will collapse. Some will even cause their knees unable to bend, that they can only stand sleep.

6. The Phajaan ceremony will separate the elephant into a wooden cage that can only stand. In addition to depriving water and food, they will continue to release noise to keep the elephant awake.

Use a sharp bamboo stick or nail to puncture elephant's toes and use bullhock to cut ears. Be beaten for one hour every morning and evening. When elephants are too weak to stand, they will put on the ropes to hold their necks.

Phajaan means ''destroying'', destroying elephant's mind, letting them collapse... so they can "train" them by fear. And training is still being tortured...

7. If they are lucky, they can drink 5-10 liters of water a day (it should be 140-200), and only dry palm leaves can eat. Many of the disobedient elephants even had their legs broken.... (Bualoi is one of them)

8. Many mothers are forced to mate, their body and mind are greatly hurt, when they smell or see the male elephant, they will straight run hard, but at the same time, because of the chained state, their hips collapse and hind limbs are disabled.

9. In addition to the parents, the baby elephant has a babysitter, and the babysitter will take responsibility for the care. Parents will do their best to protect family. The last thing to fight the poachers is to be killed...including the babysitter, so poachers can take baby elephant away.

10. The recovery period of the rescued elephants may take 1-2 years to return to a [healthier] state, and some will be super terrified when the chain is untied.

*2/28 Update:
Ploy Thong, blind, around 30 years old, spent 16 years in Pattaya, Thailand, taking tourists day in and day out from dawn to sunset, sniffing directions with his trunk. He had been in the circus before.

In rescuing Bua Keaw, elephant foundation volunteers noticed Ploy's suffering, so they negotiated with his owner. Finally, Ploy was rescued by ENP last year (20180203). When he arrived the park, he made a low voice, which attracted the elephants in the forest not far away. They all came up to meet him. They caressed the blind elephant with their trunks and wrapped them around each other. Guess he would never forget the warmth of his new family. (if you are interested, please search keyword Ploy Thong, this section has a video recorded.)

▲ Episode:
Across the river, opposite ENP, is a profit elephant camp. You can see elephants showering many times a day by the river, their skin weak, dry and with cuts. And man with a long hook around his waist, he let elephants knelt down like human so that everyone could take pictures, then let them ride on his back (hundreds of dollars at a time).

Amor asked the ENP staff: "Didn’t any of the elephants escape?"
"A few months ago there was a baby elephant run away, that time all the elephants stopped and went to the baby," he said.

But soon, he was caught back. That night the baby elephant screamed and cried loud across the river, and he did not come out to take any passengers for a week. (they were often kept in cages to prevent escape, starved them, fasted and beaten)

That night, the elephants were still restless, and talking at bedtime. There's nothing we can do for it, because a baby elephant costs millions of dollars, and there are more than 200 elephants on the rescue list who were in more urgent or worse conditions...

In addition to hoping that everyone can pass on the information, please also pray for this baby elephant and other who injured, to be treated better, released, and return to freedom and peace.
