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!

Together In Kyo
Note : Of the title, Izumisano of Masha Heart, the one translating the text says that it literally means "The Two People's Kyo" or "The Couple's Kyo" whilst my online research says that it literally means "Two Capital" which I assume Kyo is Kyoto as there is where Kao is when Ryoma goes to find her. In context to me it sounds like "The Two In Kyoto" referring to perhaps Kao and Ryoma or Kao and Izo perhaps? So in context Together In Kyoto sounds apt, as I could understand it being someone who doesn't know Japanese. However it could be The Two In The Capital Kyoto or The Two In Kyoto but for generalisation sake, I shall follow Izumi's translated title.
