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!

There were a whole lot of posts in this one but I deleted them because it is looking confusing. Hopefully this will look better without losing the essential information!

Some news also. Masha is now in Nagasaki and his fans speculated he is happily celebrating the coming new year with his mom and brother. Whilst I would have wanted him to perform before a live audience (the studio audience were very lively), this special arrangement meant he could have some rest tasting the best food in the world; his mom's cooking. Lucky guy! REST WELL MASHA!! By the way, Ryoma Den starts this Sunday 3rd January 2010 over at NHK channel at 8pm Japan time (Malaysia is 7pm). You can watch using Keyhole (surely it won't be like today! For password, email me at funnlim(AT)gmail(DOT)com or just google NHK Keyhole and you will surely find it.

The show overall was entertaining since I never watched it before, I especially love the lady performing right before Masha in her grand costume and even grander lifelike puppet right behind her! I will post her video here if I can find it. Also Susan Boyle was beautiful and she sang so beautifully. She sang I Dreamed A Dream but unfortunately she sang only 1 song. I thought she was singing 2? I was very disappointed. but Takuya Kimura was especially enthralled by her performance.

Pictures from online news site
Gorgeous!
SOME TIDBITS
Masha appeared 3 times before he sang Hatsukoi. And there was a trailer of Ryoma-Den. In Appearance 1
according to Xiaoxin from MashaPlus Info Forums, "The Ryoma bit in the Nagasaki historic Ryotei...Masha is in black pointing out the sword scratches on the pole which (I believe) was left by the real Ryoma". No other information in English available for Appearances 2 and 3.
DOWNLOADS
Source 1 : Jpopsuki (Torrent)
UPDATES - 27.01.2010
Just found out Jpopsuki is no longer just registration but invite only which means even if you download the torrent files above, you can't download as the tracker is private and you will need to log into it first! Sorry but I will look for alternatives! Therefore links removed. But if you have Jpopsuki account, just go there and use Search and type in "Kouhaku Uta Gassen" and aim for the 2009 version. You will find 2 files, one is first half of theshow (11.68GB) and the 2nd second half of the show (19.11GB). FYI, this is the entire show.

Source 2 : D-addicts (Torrent)
Open to all so go now, download, seed! File size is a reasonable 3.16GB in avi format. However screen resolution is only 640X360. But better than none. Masha related content is throughout the show but Hatsukoi is towards the end. This file is available for as long as someone still seed it. FYI, this is the entire show.
Click here to download. Once there click the link next to NAME and in the new page look under column TORRENT and choose any of the first 2 files (from left to right). Download then using your favourite torrent downloader.

Source 3 : Download Masha-only content (Mediafire)
Go here and download everything! The uploader included all 3 talk sessions with Masha plus Hatsukoi performance AND Ryoma-Den trailer as well! Basically his whole appearance! If can't access Mediafire, etc, try switching on Hotspot Shield first. This is not a torrent.
