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!
Which is not the same as another song, Good Luck. A very old song as shown in the video above, way back in 1992. Really old song. How does it do now using the test of time standard? The performance above is in 2008. Not sure actually, even if I am being really honest but what I do know is from the Romaji lyrics, he seems to have learned the value of brevity over the years. His lyrics then were looooong! Anyway another morose love song but quite sweet in some areas. He seems to have been rather love struck in the past, writing songs about love and how he managed to screw things up and is trying to patch up! Serious! Check his other similar love songs. As he got older, he seems to take less effort in patching up and more in remembering the times when all that could have been. Oh Masha, the past is the past. Sometimes with songs like these I want more of The Edge Of Chaos or Keshin. Translated lyrics and Romaji version taken from lava.net. You will find this song in both the Dear Magnum Collection released in 1999, the Slow Magnum Collection released in 2003 and the acoustic version in his album Live Fukuyamania - Acoustic Live Best Selection. You will also find this in his 1992 album, Boots. I am posting 2 versions of the lyrics because there is a marked difference between the 2, surprisingly, especially the last phrase. I am not sure which is more accurate. The second translated lyrics is from kiwi-musume.com which makes more poetic sense but again the last sentence is very different with the other!
ENGLISH VER 1 (Lava.net)
The more fondly I think of you
The things I want to do for you grows and grows
So you can get to know me even better
This time I'll take you to my favorite place to go
So that the two of us can grow just a bit closer
I want you to talk more about you
Because it's all something I still don't know
So aimlessly, just growing is the quiet
And today, I still can't have you all to myself
If I'd only turned down that street tonight... Good night
We didn't have to go and see the show
I just had to be with you
Tonight at the park, I played the comic
And made you laugh so hard you spilled your juice
On the road home, with you in the passenger seat
Watching you gaze out the window, the light turned green
Before I could tell you what I wanted to say
Without reason or rhyme, the time just passes by
And today, I still can't have you all to myself
The hood of your black parka flutters... you're so far away
Without reason or rhyme, the time just passes by
And right now, all I want is you
If I'd only turned down that street tonight... Good night
ENGLISH VER 2 (kiwi-musume.com)
The more you mean to me
The more I want to do for you
This time I’m going to take you to my favourite place
So you can understand me more
I hope we can get closer, even if it just happens little by little
I want you to tell me about yourself
Because there’s so much I don’t know
The silence just spreads out aimlessly
Today, once again, I can’t have you to myself
At the corner I flip the door handle, and for tonight…it’s goodnight
I don’t really mind not going to a movie
If I can be with you
In the park at night, you mimicked a comedian
And made me laugh so hard I spilt my juice
On the way home, you sit in the passenger’s seat looking put the window
The lights go green again before I can tell you
The time just passes by for no reason
Today, once again, I can’t have you to myself
I see the hood of your black parka fluttering…you’re far away
The time just passes by for no reason
Now I just long for you, only you
At the corner I flip the door handle, and for tonight…it’s goodnight
