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!
The above version is from his 2009 concert in Nagasaki. The album version is after Read More link. At first I didn't quite like the song but after repeated listening to the song, I begin to appreciate the sweeping grandoise of it, almost epic feel. The lyrics is poetic and I always thought this is the sort of song best suited for those grand anime series. I like this song better when sung live. You may wonder why the lyrics is so short. That is because almost half of the song is a guitar solo from him. Thus the sweeping epic feel. The translated lyrics is by Izumisano from Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart and MashaPlus(dot)Info Forums, the links can be found at the bottom of this blog. You will find this song in his album, Zankyo.
ALBUM VERSION
LYRICS
ENGLISH
He has become strong, striving constantly to seize everything,
Searching endlessly for the power to take over all good and evil
A deeply deformed past, and countless betrayals have transformed him
He has become an Asura*, he will never come back to this place, he was sworn to that
Family bonds and blood linkages are all hindrances, he has discarded them
To deceit and sin, he no longer feels pain
To friendship and sacrifice, he no longer looks back
To the wilderness he goes, to the ends of his desires
Challenging the ghost of his great father
It was once an endless battle
His mother’s love, like wings embracing and protecting him
The last testament to his humanity
The last…….
A thirsty heart, but no-one is there anymore
Ice cold lips, but they seek no-one and accept no-one
He has gained power, but he continues on his journey, without end
As if he fears not to lose anything again
Without a shred of love, he goes on his way.

I love this song the very first moment I listened to it, and I think it is the best song from the album (to me at least ^_^)
