Blue Wendel (Interviewer): So Bozon, could you tell us what made you decide to hold a furry train event like this?

Bozon (Interviewee): The main reason is that I’ve always been fascinated by various furry events in Japan. I once stumbled upon a Japanese event called “Furball Express” (毛玉急行), which basically involved a bunch of furries taking a train ride together. I’m also quite fond of railway culture, so I started thinking about the possibility of holding a similar event in Taiwan, like Furball Express.

Finally, through everyone’s hard work, we succeeded, which I consider a pioneering feat because it’s Taiwan’s first furry event on a train. So, essentially, I drew inspiration from Japan’s Furball Express to develop this event.

Blue Wendel: As the event is successful, how do you feel now? How do you feel about everyone being able to fursuit on the train and then alighting to take pictures at stations?

Bozon: I feel it’s our fruit of labour. Although it’s not perfect, just being able to achieve this touches me. Besides the excitement and happiness, I also worry if there might be any mistakes or unexpected situations. So far, everything has gone very smoothly, so now I’m even feeling a sense of gratitude!

Blue Wendel: Do you plan to hold FurPE again next year?

Bozon: We need to do a thorough review before we can consider that. As for the possibility of holding a second or third edition in the future, that remains open for now.

蓝风（采访者）： 那包森，这边麻烦你说一下，为什么这一次会想要办这样的一个毛爪号的活动？

包森（受访者）：最主要其实我非常向往日本的各式活动，那我其实之前就是无意间发现在日本进行一个《毛玉急行》（Furball Express）的活动，那其实就是一堆毛毛搭行列车的这样活动，那我本身其实也蛮喜欢铁道相关的文化，所以说我这次就在思考有没有可能在台湾举办类似毛玉急行的兽聚活动。

最后，在大家各方的努力之下达成这样的成果，我觉得是一种创举，因为台湾的第一次在火车上的毛毛活动，那最主要就是我由日本的毛玉急行活动做发展。

蓝风：那所以，你觉得你现在的当下的心情是如何，因为我们毕竟活动顺利办成功了。那你觉得现在这样子大家都在火车上面出毛，然后在旁边下车之后在旁边拍照这样子一起互动的这个过程，你觉得如何？

包森：我觉得毕竟是努力的一个成果，虽然并不是尽善尽美，但能够光是能够达成这件事，我就已经非常感动了，那兴奋开心之余，我其实也会紧张说中间有没有可能会发生任何的出错啊，或是任何的意料之外的事情。那到目前为止非常的顺利，所以现在是甚至抱有点感恩的心！

蓝风： 我额外问一下。所以目前我们这个毛爪号这样子办完，明年会有还会有机会再办吗？

包森：我们得先通盘检讨各个流程，然后才有可能去考虑未来有没有可能机会再办第二，第三届之类的想法，目前的话都是保留（未定）。
