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!
Must confess, never heard this song fully until I was writing this post. Frankly didn't quite like it but seems again a rather popular song. Lyrical wise sounds like a man tortured by his love of someone. Melody wise, I like the mid part. The video is from his 2005 concert. Translated lyrics taken from Lava.net where you will find the Romaji version. You will find this song in the Dear Magnum Collection released I think in 1999 and the acoustic version in Live Fukuyamania - Acoustic Live Best Selection. I am also posting an alternative version translated lyrics wise because again huge differences. There is a difference between called by the wind and going to the ocean sort of thing. The rest are the same but the major ones, I let you decide. I think Lava.net is taking a more hollistic approach whilst the 2nd set, by AnimEigo (taken from Mashaplus Forums and Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart (both links at the bottom of this page)is more sentence per sentence. But still called and willingly going is 2 different things. You be the judge.
Update - 30.11.2009
I have the shock of my life when I saw the original PV and there was this half naked blonde haired caucasion woman and her breasts, naked in its full glory staring at Masha who was busy miming to the words of his song!! You must watch the PV. Apparently it was never banned! Sample screenshots below, taken from the site where you can download the PV. Download the video here. The PV itself as embedded below:_

ENGLISH
We won't go back to being lovers
I've become my own master
Able to dream the dreams I love
My weekends are nothing special
But have a carefree feel to them
I'm sure that's what you call freedom
Why is it that the pain in my heart
Was called by the wind, bringing me to the beach?
I should have forgotten all about love
I want to forget about you
Why is that? One more
Memory is carried by the wind?
These welling tears, it's only love
The portrait you took of me
I innocently smiled
As I looked at you who I loved so
I believed that it wouldn't change
I felt as if was forever
I'm sure we were happy then
It's a mistake, these wavering feelings
What did I expect, coming to the beach?
I should have forgotten all about love
I want to forget those times
Why is that? One more
Memory is swept up by the waves
These welling tears, it's only love
The trembling of my heart won't stop
I search for you, alone
Right now, I'm all alone...
I should have forgotten all about love
I want to forget about you
I should have forgotten all about love
I want to forget those times
Why is that? One more
Memory is swept up by the waves
These welling tears, it's only love
ROMAJI
Koibito ni wa modoranai We won't go back to being lovers
Boku wa boku no mono ni natte I dream my favorite dream
Suki na yume o miteru That I'm my own person again
Shuumatsu wa tokubetsu ja naku Weekends aren't special
Kimama na toki kanjiteru It's the time I feel laid back
Kitto jiyuu na n da Surely this is freedom
Naze darou--mune no itami So why this pain in my chest?
Kaze ni sasoware umi e kita no ka Have I come to the ocean, seduced by the wind?
Ai dake wa wasureta hazu sa I should have forgotten about love at least
Kimi no koto wasuretai yo I want to forget about you
Doushite sa--mata hitotsu So why is there still one more
Kaze ga omoide hakonde Wind that carries my emotions?
Afureru namida wa: it's only love These overflowing tears: it's only love
Kimi ga totta portrait The picture you took--
Boku ga mujaki ni waratte I'm smiling innocently
Suki na kimi o miteru As I look at you, my favorite girl
Kawaranai to shinjiteta I believed that wouldn't change
Eien o kanjiteita I was feeling eternity
Kitto shiawase datta Surely we were happy
Machigai sa--yureru omoi It was a mistake--feelings waver
Nani o motomete umi e kita no ka Have I come to the ocean searching for something?
Ai dake wa wasureta hazu sa I should have forgotten about love at least
Ano koro o wasuretai yo I want to forget about those days
Doushite sa--mata hitotsu So why is there still one more
Nami ga omoide saratte Wave that sweeps away my feelings?
Afureru namida wa: it's only love These overflowing tears: it's only love
Tomaranai furueru kokoro This quaking heart won't stop
Kimi o sagashite--boku wa hitori I search for you--I'm alone
Ima wa hitori de... Alone now...
Ai dake wa wasureta hazu sa I should have forgotten about love at least
Kimi no koto wasuretai yo I want to forget about you
Ai dake wa wasureta hazu sa I should have forgotten about love at least
Ano koro o wasuretai yo I want to forget about those days
Doushite sa--mata hitotsu So why is there still one more
Nami ga omoide saratte Wave that sweeps away my feelings?
Afureru namida wa: it's only love These overflowing tears: it's only love
It's only love It's only love
