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!
Originally sung by Shibasaki Kou for the series Galileo with Masha himself doing the back ups, it is a song meant for female vocals. However he gave it an energetic spin to it, which I also like. The above version is from his concert in 2007. However my favourite is the following arrangement from his official release, I think around the same time he released Keshin. Frankly not sure the name of the album, and I will add to this post when I do find out. Was released as a single with Keshin in 2009, right before Zankyo.
By the way the series Galileo is excellent. You can download the series with excellent English subtitles here. The translated lyrics is by Rei-chan from the MashaPlus(Dot) Info Forums, the link is at the bottom of this blog. The subbed series also has the translated lyrics hardcoded so might differ slightly from the version below. Adding to my comments, I kinda realise the lyrics does not match with the series! But who cares! It's a great catchy tune and quite romantic lyrics as well.
So I can’t comprehend myself
It makes me want to cry, it’s so much fun
I’m still searching for the equation
that will give me the answer to happiness
The power of love is right here
because even on nights when you can’t laugh, when you can’t cry
I am here supporting you
Hey, I will give you everything there is
to the other side of me that i’ve held back, never shown to anyone
My naked lips, KISS me
It’s a question that everyone has
It’s difficult but it feels good
(and the reason for our encounter)
Today, the dynamics of love is also changing
(TV-Rocker translates this line as "I'm also tackling the dynamics of love today")
You are laughing at me, who’s like this
but I will solve this difficult problem of life, just wait and see
Hey, I will protect everything there is
to the real you that’s never been shown to anyone
and I give to you
my naked lips, KISS me~
(and the reason behind it?)
the little universe in my heart is expanding even now
The power of love is right here
because even on nights when you can’t laugh, when you can’t cry
I am here supporting you
and I give to you
my naked lips
our lips in love, KISS me

Nice to meet you!
I'm a Japanese, a fun of Masha!
I found out this blog while I was searching English translation of Masha's songs.
(I'm studying English, so I was searching them for my study.)
In this translation of Kiss Shite,
>Today, the dynamics of love is also changing
"格闘中" means "tackling" or "wrestling with" rather than "changing," so
I'm also tackling the dynamics of love today.
I think this might sounds better.
And please allow me for my poor English and pointing out, if I offend you.
Thanks very much for pointing that out! No offense taken as I am sure the original translator appreciates your feedback, especially a native speaker! Since "Today, the dynamics of love is also changing" is actually
"I'm also tackling the dynamics of love today", it changes the lyrics from an observer to a participant. I will add your feedback in! Thanks again!
