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!
You heard the version by Shibasaki Koh, but here is the version by Masha himself. The above video is from his 2008 concert. This is the themesong of the movie Suspect X, the lyrics from the man's point of view. Beautiful song, hauntingly beautiful lyrics and sounds just as good whether sung by a man or a woman. The title I read somewhere is translated as Greatest Love, but in the version below, it is My Most Loved One. Recently found out the more accurate translation is Deepest Love, which is the translation I used. I believe in context they're the same, so I am sticking to the shorter title. The translated lyrics is by Claudia sakuraminamoto.livejournal. Romaji lyrics by Eureka101 and it was taken from MashaPlus(Dot) Info Forum, the link is at the bottom of this page. You can download the movie here (look for Galileo - excellently subbed in English, where you will hear the same song at the end of the movie with the English translation hardcoded, which may differ slightly from the version below).I am including in the version below the Romaji and Kanji version since I just copy and paste. You will find this song in his album, Zankyo.
UPDATE - 06.12.2009
Just found the PV of Saai, thanks to Imunizano of Masha Heart and MashaPlus Info Forums, the links at the bottom of this page. Anyway what's with the old western lady? An unhealthy obsession with older women issit, Masha? Or perhaps he is the dead husband of the lonely old woman, he died old but in spirit looks young? I was really shocked with It's Only Love PV so frankly nothing could quite shock me anymore with his PV, not even the last scene of this PV and that very lucky old woman. He looked good though.
