一、研究動機與研究目的 「 (miss)understand」這個標題正是這次小論文中所要討論的主角—濱崎步，她 的第七張原創專輯所使用的名稱，而台灣愛迴對於這張專輯的翻譯名稱「（步） 解」也就是台灣媒體對濱崎步稱呼「步姊」的同音字。 濱崎步—於這位女歌手，在台灣幾乎是無所不知，就算你沒看過她的人，也聽過 她的大名，而她也在日本唱片上創下奇蹟，創造出許多動人的歌曲與潮流，雖然 在台灣的報章雜誌上常常可以看到她的消息，但大部分都是一些八卦、負面消 息，但希望你看了這篇，可以更進一步的了解濱崎步。 二、章節架構與研究方法 透過濱崎步出道時幾十多年來的專輯、單曲、演唱會紀錄等作品與一些新聞、雜 誌訪問等來介紹濱崎步。 三、相關文獻的回顧探討 生命總是要不斷靠自己的手來抉擇 如果有意見就請儘管發表吧 我不會為這種小事而動搖 在被催眠之前我要起步前往』 ------------------------------Hamasaki Ayumi 1 LOVE (註一) 貳●正文 一、基本介紹 濱崎步（日文：浜崎あゆみ，Hamasaki Ayumi），在 1978 年 10 月 2 日在日本福 岡縣福岡市出生，是日本艾迴唱片公司旗下的女歌手。AYU 從小是由媽媽和外 婆養大的，她爸爸在 AYU 大約 2 歲時離開家庭，所以 AYU 對她爸爸沒有什麼 印象，再 AYU 7 歲時，擔任福岡中央銀行和岩田屋擔任專用模特兒，直到了 14 歲，AYU 還是以模特兒這個職業幫忙家裡的經濟；在 AYU 國二時，AYU 參加 了朝日電視臺電視劇（雙胞胎教師）的演員招募，AYU 當了配角，並藉由這部 戲認識了前男友 長瀨智也，並因為這部戲開始對演戲產生興趣，在國中畢業後 1 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com 離開福岡，往東京發展。剛開始進入演藝圈的 AYU 是用「浜崎くるみ（Kurumi Hamazaki）」這個藝名演戲，在 1995 年，又用了本名「浜崎あゆみ（Ayumi Hamasaki）」 出唱片，發行了首張單曲及迷你專輯同名為「NOTHING FROM NOTHING」， 變成了歌手，因為銷售量不好又回去演戲；有一陣過的不太好， 到了 1997 年，AYU 被當時是音樂製片人的松浦勝人（日本艾迴音樂創辦人之一， 現 是 艾 迴 社長）培養，到美國訓練準備再次出道，後來在松浦勝人的建議下， AYU 開始嘗試作詞（AYU 的歌都是自己作詞）。 二 、作品介紹 A Song for XX（1999/01/01） 「A Song for XX」這是AYU的第一張專輯，如果是像我從比較中後時期才聽 AYU 的歌，而且現在的 AYU 和十幾年前剛出道時候的聲音差～很多，我那時候聽到 這張專輯的感覺是聲音好高、好不習慣，這張專輯比較推薦的是（ 好啦～是我喜 歡聽的）「 A Song for ××」、「 For My Dear...」、「 YOU」這三首，其中「 For My Dear...」 這首在最近這幾年的 Live 演唱會有唱，而「YOU」是 10 週年單曲 有重新風翻唱（我是比較喜歡 10 週年的版本），在日本 Oricon 唱片公信榜專輯 榜總共獲得五週冠軍，前兩週銷售量 548,210 張，總銷售量超過 145 萬張，打破 新人女歌手 19 年來的紀錄，在榜 63 週。 LOVEppears（1999/11/11） 「LOVEppears」是 AYU 的第二張專輯，這封面還滿搶眼的，還有一張單曲 「appears」也是同樣的 pose，只是封面是皮膚弄成黑人的樣子，這張的聲音沒有 上一張的高，這張我推薦的有「And Then」、「 End roll」、「 appears」、「 Trauma」、「 TO BE」、「 Who...」，這張還蠻多 AYU 的經典歌曲，像是「Trauma」、「 Boys & Girls」、 「 Fly high」、「 Who...」等這些歌，雖然也過了 10 年了，但是 AYU 的演唱會上常 常唱這幾首歌，首週銷售量 1,201,870 張（名次第１位）， 該 專輯銷售量超過 256 萬張，在榜 64 週，創下好成績，使 AYU 的地位提升。 2 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com Duty（2000/09/27） 「Duty」是 AYU 的第三張專輯，這封面也是很搶眼，同時 AYU 在同一洲也發行 了單曲「SURREAL」， 還 有演唱會 DVD《ayumi hamasaki concert tour 2000 A 第二 幕》，這三項作品都獲得了冠軍，AYU 成為了日本第一個歌手同時達成了三項 公信榜冠軍。我就是再這個時期開始喜歡上 AYU 的（但不是因為音樂，是因為 長相），這張我推薦的有「Key ～eternal tie ver.～」、「 teddy bear」、「 SCAR」、 「 SEASONS」， 首週銷售量 1,682,760 張，銷量約 300 萬張，在榜 27 週。 M（2000/12/13） AYU 的百萬單曲之一，在這張單曲 AYU 除了自己做詞，還首次用「CREA」這 個筆名創作歌曲，首週銷售量 541,350 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 1,319,070 張，在榜 18 週。 A BEST（2001/03/28） 這張專輯 AYU 選了一張自己流淚的相片作為專輯封面，在 2004 年時，AYU 在 接受日本電視台個人專訪時，談論選擇這張相片作為封面的原因之一，是因為當 年並不是 AYU 自願推出精選專輯，是唱片公司脅迫。AYU 當時認為一個歌手應 該是要引退了才能夠發精選輯的，所以非常抗拒這項發行的計畫。這張專輯的歌 都很經典，如果要推薦 AYU 的歌，這張很適合，像前面幾張我推薦的，大部分 這張都有。首週銷售量 2,874,870 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 429 萬，在榜 51 週，是日本史上首週銷售量史上第２，總銷售量第 6 高的專輯。 3 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com I am.. （2002/01/01） 這一年被認為是 AYU 歌唱事業踏入高峰的一年。 這張的封面也很特別，在張專輯幾乎都是 AYU 自己作曲的（15 首裡有 11 都是 AYU 自己作曲的），這張我推薦的有「A Song is born」（ 美 國 發 生 911 恐怖攻擊事 件，AYU 作為艾迴的慈善籌款計劃的一員，推出單曲《A song is born》）、「 Dearest」、 「 no more words」、「 I am...」、「 M 」、「 NEVER EVER」，前兩週銷售量 1,751,360 張 （名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 2,308,112 張，在榜 27 週。 RAINBOW（2002/12/18） 這張封面 AYU 的頭髮就像專輯名稱 RAINBOW 一樣，這張首次讓歌迷參與新曲 RAINBOW 的作詞，完成作曲後的歌收錄在隔年發行的「A BALLADS」專輯中。 這張我推薦的是「Over」、「Heartplace」、「HANABI」、「Voyage」，其中我 最最最推薦的就是『Over』，其實最張專輯的歌我以前很蠻少在聽的，後來有一 陣子 AYU 的前面專輯的歌有點聽膩了，後來就聽了比較少聽的這張，就很喜歡 『Over』這首歌，尤其是最後一句歌詞『it’over』那裡，但 AYU 很少在演唱會 唱這首，希望她以後來台灣可以唱。首週銷售量 1,016,482 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 1,856,919 張，在榜 22 週。 A BALLADS（2003/03/12） 這張封面還滿可愛的，但沒什麼好推薦的，大部分是推薦過的在編曲過，這張裡 面比較特別的是「 卒 業 写真」，這 首 歌的歌名是 AYU 為一一首歌裡使用日文的（ 其 他 都 用 英 文，AYU 說英文一個字有不同的意思，歌迷可以自己感覺）， 首週銷售 量 561,127 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 924,902 張，在榜 39 週。 Memorial address（2003/12/17） 4 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com 這張是迷你專輯（只有 8 首歌）， 其 中 推薦的是「No way to say」、「 Memorial address」， 其 中 『 HANABI～episode II～』是『HANABI』的續張，但兩首歌的 風格不太同，每次聽的這首歌時，我都會把她ㄎㄚ掉（笑）。 首週銷售量 524,028 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 1,062,297 張，在榜 48 週（在張在還沒發行前， 網路上有很多人唱衰他不會破百萬，再他最後還是很棒的破百萬，使 AYU 成為 第一個以迷你專輯銷量破百萬的女歌手。）。 Moments（2004/03/31） 這張單曲是我很喜歡的其中之一，也因為這首歌讓我更瘋狂、更喜歡 AYU，當 然 Moments 這首歌我也超愛的，這首歌幾乎也是天天在聽，只要我在聽音樂在首 歌我就不會漏聽的。首週銷售量 157,320 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 302,923 張，在榜 21 週。 CAROLS（2004/09/29） 還記得第一次聽到這首歌的時候，電視上正播放著 AYU 的演 唱會特輯，AYU 穿著白色禮服唱著這首歌，還有用了雪的特效；這首歌幾乎也 是天天在聽，也是百聽不宴的收藏之一。首週銷售量 177,778 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 309,128 張，在榜 15 週。 MY STORY（2004/12/15） 這張封面上的 LOGO 我超喜歡，還滿想把它變成我家大門的鑰匙（笑）。 這張我推薦「CAROLS」、「 Moments」、「 walking proud」、「 HOPE or PAIN」、「 Liar」、 「 my name’s WOMEN」， AYU 說這張是由不同的回憶式作品組成，希望完全採 用自己的思想來創作新作品。後來 AYU 有說這張是第一張自己滿意的專輯，首 週銷售量 574,321 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 1,132,444 張，在榜 43 週，這張 是 AYU 現在目前為止最後一張百萬專輯。 5 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com STEP you／is this LOVE？（2005/04/20） STEP you 這首歌的 PV 真的是超級可愛的，AYU 再這隻 PV 裡有五種不同的造型， 種之 AYU 超～可愛的，而且我還有在電視上的節目看到，抓台灣藝人模仿 AYU 再 PV 裡的五個造型之一，還有這支單曲還收入了 MY STORY 裡的「my name’s WOMEN」PV，也是花了幾億日幣搭景的。首週銷售量 164,008 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 345,340 張，在榜 19 週。 (miss)understood（2006/01/01） 這張專輯有附一本寫真集，算蠻厚的，而且我買時還送一張一公尺的海報，這張 我推薦的是「HEAVEN」、「 Pride」、「 STEP you」、「 is this LOVE？」、「 STEP you」、 「 (miss)understood」，這張專輯收錄由德國樂團 SWEETBOX 主音 GEO 所提供的靈 魂樂創作曲『Pride』、『Bold & Delicious』，但這新曲風日本歌迷不太能接受， 同名單曲「Bold & Delicious / Pride」賣的不是很好，我個人是蠻喜歡『Pride』的， 至於『Bold & Delicious』之前聽時，我爸跟我媽都說很吵叫我關掉。前兩週銷售 量 653,830 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 877,433 張，在榜 32 週。 Secret （2006/11/29） 封面上 AYU 的 A LOGO 刺青配上獨角獸來修飾，我覺得這張 封面很漂亮，我推薦的有「It was」、「 1 LOVE」、「 JEWEL」、「 Secret」， 其 中「 JEWEL」 的 PV 花了幾億日幣拍攝（場景裡有很多珠寶）。 首週銷售量 386,280 張（名次第 １位）， 總 銷售超過 666,396 張，在榜 18 週。 6 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com Together When... （2007/12/05） 這支單曲是 AYU 第一之數位化單曲，我覺得沒有實體化實在是蠻可惜的，在這 支單曲之前的那一陣子，AYU 的新歌我都覺得還好，這首歌就很喜歡，封面那 麼漂亮，歌又那麼好聽，真好奇如果發行成 CD 會賣多少張。 GUILTY（2008/01/01） 這張我推薦有「Together When...」、「 MY ALL」、「 Marionette」、「 Marionette -prelude-」、「 untitled ~For Her~」， 其 中 『 MY ALL』有很深刻的回憶，在 AYU 的 10 週年巡迴演唱中（台灣場）AYU 有教我們這首個的動作，我還記得 AYU 那時 說「手心 手臂 抱（包）起來」整個就超可愛的，還有「untitled ~For Her~」這 首歌好像是 AYU 寫給……，之前看到演唱會 DVD，AYU 唱這首歌都會標淚。前 兩週銷售量 432,113 張（名次第 2 位）， 總 銷售超過 568,288 張，在榜 17 週，這張 專輯雙周銷售量排行第二，中斷了 AYU 的連續八張原創專輯冠軍的紀錄。 NEXT LEVEL（2009/03/25） 這張封面的衣服我覺得還蠻……（好啦～其實我是覺 得沒什賣相啦!!!!!!!!!!）， 推薦的有「LOVE 'n' HATE」、「 Days」、「 Curtain call」、 「 NEXT LEVEL」，其 中 我 要 介紹「Days」的 PV，在這隻 PV 裡久違的可愛 AYU 又出現了，裡面的那頂超可愛的，如果把封面換成 PV 裡的造型，那就好了。首 週銷售量 240,810 張（名次第１位）， 總 銷售超過 370,209 張，在榜 27 週。 參●結論 AYU 從出到到現在，從一開始的默默無名，到了現在的歌姬地位，每一張專輯 的 AYU 都給了我們歌迷的不同感覺，每一張有不同的風格，不只是在音樂上、 7 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com 歌詞上、封面上、造型上，甚至是 PV 裡，每個時期的 AYU 都給了我不同的感 覺，而她的歌也伴隨了我度過了國小國中還有高中階段，陪了我度過了好幾年的 成長過程，也對了我有了很多影響力，我相信對於其他的步迷也是一樣的，前年 AYU 來台開演唱會，但只有開一場，票賣不到兩個小時就掃光了，然後去年 AYU 又再次來到了台灣開演唱會，我也去享受了 AYU 的精采表演，我覺得我們家 AYU 實在是太棒了，即使她的左耳受傷了，她還是盡力的工作，做好每一場演出，但 每次媒體都很過分，AYU 正面的都寫很小，然後 AYU 來台灣花多少錢、買哪一 牌的衣服、吃哪一家的美食，版面超大，又順便虧 AYU 愛花錢等等比較負面的 事，其實我家 AYU 是很好的人，這幾來中港台等地開演唱會，出飯店時都會幫 歌迷簽名（ 日本歌迷還沒有這種福利呢!!!!!）結果某家報紙卻給 AYU 拍一張一直 簽名，結果太陽眼鏡滑下去的照片，所以阿～從上面幾件事就可以知道我們不能 盲目的相信謀體，像負面的就看看就好；還有近幾年來，受到全球經濟不景氣的 影響，AYU 的銷售量有點小小的下滑，雖然謀體又在唱衰我家ＡＹＵ不紅，但 我相信ＡＹＵ在不管是日本還是台灣還是有很大的影響力，最後希望ＡＹＵ能不 斷的上升，專輯越賣越好。

We have traced the history of our Bar Memorial back to at least 1898, in a courthouse that is long gone, but had a beauty and charm that made it a fitting location for this gathering. We say “at least 1898,” because there is speculation that the practice of offering annual unwritten memorials began in 1857. Regardless of its date of origin, the Bar Memorial is now well into its second century, and it is a tradition that is certain to continue simply because it is right— and it is good. Buildings come and go, but the Bar Memorial has always found a suitable home, including in the chambers of the Minneapolis City Council, the boardroom of the Hennepin County Commissioners, and in Judge James Rosenbaum’s magnificent courtroom.

  • AP Statistics Quiz a – Chapter 26 – Key 1. a Biology Professor Reports
    AP Statistics Quiz A – Chapter 26 – Key 1. A biology professor reports that historically grades in her introductory biology course have been distributed as follows: 15% A’s, 30% B’s, 40% C’s, 10% D’s, and 5% F’s. Grades in her most recent course were distributed as follows: Grade A B C D F Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 a. Test an appropriate hypothesis to decide if the professor’s most recent grade distribution matches the historical distribution. Give statistical evidence to support your conclusion. We want to know if the most recent grade distribution matches the historical grade distribution. H : The most recent grade distribution matches the historical grade distribution. 0 H : The most recent grade distribution differs from the historical grade distribution. A Conditions: *Counted data: We have the counts of the number of students who earned each grade. *Randomization: We have a convenience sample of students, but no reason to suspect bias. *Expected cell frequency: There are a total of 325 students. The smallest percentage of expected grades are F’s, and we expect 325(0.05) = 16.25. Since the smallest expected count exceeds 5, all expected counts will exceed 5, so the condition is satisfied. Under these conditions, the sampling distribution of the test statistic is F 2 with 5 – 1 = 4 degrees of freedom, and we will perform a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. Grade A B C D F Observed Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 Expected Frequency 48.75 97.5 130 32.5 16.25 χ2 component 33.232 5.6641 20.8 1.7308 1.1115 2 2 Obs Exp F ¦ Exp 2 2 2 2 2 89 48.75 121 97.5 78 130 25 32.5 12 16.25 48.75 97.5 130 32.5 16.25 62.538 The P-value is the area in the upper tail of the F 2 model with 4 degrees of freedom above the computed F 2 value.

  • Graphing & Curve Analysis Using Kaleidagraph 4.5©
    ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY Physics 151 Graphing & Curve Analysis Using KaleidaGraph 4.5 Fall 2021 The following instructions guide you through the process of using KaleidaGraph to create a graph from a set of data, and to calculate and draw a line or curve that best fits your data. The information determined from this best-fit line will be used to analyze your data. These graphing techniques will be used in most of the labs this semester, so it is important that you understand them. Bring these instructions to lab each week! KaleidaGraph Icon It is important to note that KaleidaGraph can open Microsoft Excel worksheets, or you can copy and paste data from Excel into KaleidaGraph. This allows you to use Excel for data acquisition and calculations, and then use the graphing and analysis tools of KaleidaGraph. Entering the Data 1. When you start KaleidaGraph, you are presented with a spreadsheet (the “Data” window). As seen in Figure 1, data cells are designated by a row number (beginning with row ‘0’) and a column title (A, B, etc.) A toolbar appears at the top of the Data window; labels in Figure 1 show some of the more useful buttons (the name of the button will appear if you place the mouse cursor over it.) In addition, columns are referred to by a column number (c0, c1, etc.) that appears below the title*. The column number designation is not absolute, and its purpose will be more obvious later in this exercise. A Formula Entry window appears at the bottom of the screen; this is where you enter equations to act on your data (if this window isn’t visible, choose Formula Entry from the Windows menu).

(2015) that radiative biases over the Larsen C ice shelf (Eastern Peninsula) were due to the lack of cloud liquid water. They worked at 5 km resolution and use three models – including AMPS (the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System, based on Polar WRF).

  • Lesson 9 8•6
    NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 9 8•6 Lesson 9: Determining the Equation of a Line Fit to Data Student Outcomes . Students informally fit a straight line to data displayed in a scatter plot. Students determine the equation of a line fit to data. Students make predictions based on the equation of a line fit to data. Lesson Notes In this lesson, students informally fit a line to data by drawing a line that describes a linear pattern in a scatter plot and then use their lines to make predictions. They determine the equation of the line and informally analyze different lines fit to the same data. This lesson begins developing the foundation for finding an objective way to judge how well a line fits the trend in a scatter plot and the notion of a best-fit line in Algebra I. Classwork Example 1 (5 minutes): Crocodiles and Alligators Discuss the data presented in the table and scatter plot. Consider starting by asking if students are familiar with crocodiles and alligators and how they differ. Ask students if they can imagine what a bite force of 100 pounds would feel like. Ask them if they know what body mass indicates. If students understand that body mass is an indication of the weight of a crocodilian and bite force is a measure of the strength of a crocodilian’s bite, the data can be investigated even if they do not understand the technical definitions and how these variables are measured. Also, ask students if any other aspects of the data surprised them.
