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 is an interview with Masha at the NHK official site. Love the site, looks very nice and well organised but the interview, well there's bound to be a translation somewhere. Meanwhile, I took the following pictures from the site itself, namely this and this. Series is starting every Sunday 9pm (Japan time) on NHK Channel on 03.01.2010. Do catch it! Anyway the following are thumbnails so do click on them for larger sized picture. Click Read More link for the pictures!

The official poster
With the end of Tenchijin, the publicity for Ryoma-den can finally begin. First the trailer, now the Official Poster. The one revealed in August was simply a promotional poster for Ryoma to be the next "Face of NHK". The one disclosed today is the real Poster for the drama.
The appeal of this poster lies in the (impressive) ability of Fukuyama-san to reproduce the look (eyes / expresssion) of Sakamoto Ryoma. What is Ryoma the visionary thinking about?
"To make waves, to stir up wind" (written on the poster)
Refined and subtle, Fukuyama-san's expression brings out the strong will of Ryoma, with the clouds in the background and the wind in his hair adding further to the dramatic effect. Fukuyama-san was relaxed and natural at the photoshoot and it was finished in less time than scheduled. Doesn't Fukuyama-san's expression tell you something? How he is worried about the future of Japan, how he dreams of a better future, it all flows out so naturally......
Where do you think this poster was taken? In Katsurahama (Kochi), Nagasaki or on a ship.......it was in Shibuya. To be exact, it was on the rooftop helicopter pad of the NHK Broadcasting Tower facing the skyscrapers of Shinjuku. This helicopter pad has been used occassionally for TV filming.
The posters will be distributed to all NHK offices around the country from today onwards, to be displayed at the lobby of all TV stations by this weekend. It is also displayed starting today at the entrance of Studio Park and within, as well as the outside Harajuku JR station.
