Welcome to All About Fukuyama Masaharu, part lyrics blog, part fan site, 100% about Masha. It started out as a blog around April 2009 to repost all English lyrics, but after a while I got a bit ambitious and posting many other things I can gather from the net, some pictures, some articles, mostly news in English from the perspective of a fan although you can find some translated articles in here. I do not pretend to say I take credit for the text in here; frankly I just search, gather, summarise, reword and repost. I will always include the name of the fan who said whatever I posted to the best of my ability but as you can see, my sources are mostly from 2 main fan forums of Masha that is not in Japan. My problem is I can't read Japanese or Chinese, but my persistence sometimes does pay off when I just keep looking. You will also find some pictures in here, but all of the pictures you don't see in here are in Facebook, just look for All Abt Masha. I am quite active in that Facebook page, and it is also a place to find information! My main purpose for this blog is for myself; to gather all lyrics in English under one roof. But I am very sure foreign fans can also benefit from the contents in this blog, and without the many wonderful foreign Masha fans who translate, discuss and share whether privately or publicly, this blog will never be what it is today. I am still hoping to find more English lyrics somewhere, although from the looks of it, I will say things have slowed down a bit. Anyway, have a look. If you have any snippet about Masha to share with me, or pictures or lyrics, anything at all, please do not hesitate to do so. Do join in the discussion by using Post A Comment. Do consider sending me your submission of reviews. And for new Masha fans, if you like, do join my Contact List. Thanks for dropping by!
This is a song about Masha when he left Nagasaki to pursue his dream and the girl he left behind. First love... ahhhh...I don't like this song though. I just didn't think there was anything special melody wise. But lyrics wise again, this man is a poet and thanks to the translators who conveyed what he wanted to say in poetic proses. English translation by Izumisano from Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart and MashaPlus(dot) Info Forums, both links at the bottom of this blog. You will find this song in the album, Zankyo.
Lyrics edited by translator on 26.02.2011
The sun-burnt school building and sport grounds
The brass band on the roof top
Chasing the melody of my dreams, my summer at 15
Do you remember your friends?
Do you remember your dreams?
Do you feel happy now?
Never-ending arrivals, encounters and farewells
I seem to lose sight of myself at times, but then
My Hometown
My love; injuries and goodbyes
They were all my first experiences
and they were engraved on me
My Hometown
In a world where everything changes
Even though you or the city are different now
Please be the place that my heart can return to
Forever my Hometown
Foreign ships, their steam whistles blowing
Leaning against the lighthouse, by myself
Thinking about “going far away”, my summer at 18
“I guess it’s a dead end wherever I go”
Desolation resounds in reply
Hugging my guitar, I stare at the skies
As my longing meets with reality
Not you even, not even tomorrow, could I protect ……
My Hometown
I loved this city that day
I hated this city that day
On the station platform where I set out
My Hometown
I so wanted to take you with me
I so wanted to take you away
Clenching my pockets
Our promises, set free in the wind
This was the only one chance I had, I really wanted it
To this day, whatever I have gained, or lost, I'm still searching
My Hometown
My love; injuries and goodbyes
They were all my first experiences
and they were engraved on me
My Hometown
In a world where everything changes
Even though you or the city are different now
Please be the place that my heart can return to
Please be there
so my heart can return
Forever my Hometown
