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!

UPDATES - 08.02.2010
I found some interesting translation about the questions Masha answered during his ANN show on 06.02.2010, that was on his birthday, considered a birthday special segment. As translated by Mashamasha from the HK Discussion forum (post 88 page 6). Those in [ ] in bold is by me. And some comments on his birthday cake(s). All after Read More.
Added some clarification on some terms thanks to Izumisano as well as one final question that I did not add.

Simple shortened translation of some Q&A from listeners in ann tonight (this is the birthday special of ANN) [by Mashamasha and those in italics thanks to Izumisano for further clarification on the terms in Chinese/Japanese]. FOR THE FULL VERSION WITH SOME VERY INTERESTING REPLY, CHECK OUT THE 41 YEAR OLD Q&A AT MASHA HEART.
What he usually does on off-day >> Go to gym
Who he wants to meet most (those he has not met before) >> 会社創業者 [I used google translator and it says Corporate pioneer/company founder like Iwasaki Yataro]
Which movie he has seen recently >> he has not seen any recently, but wants to see the movie called 愛のむきだし (the movie is very long and he has only finished watching part of it)[Did some search and found a movie with this title called Love Exposure aka Ai no mukidashi. Could this be the one? See the imdb page. Apparently the movie is trashy. Well, Masha does have interesting taste in everything.]
What he wants to eat on 地球滅亡日 >> curry, soba [ahh still curry? Masha come to Malaysia! Got good curry here!]
What kinds of onigiri he likes most >> おかか ツナマヨ 明太子 [I have no idea what this is] (i.e. Okaka (bonito flakes with soy sauce) / tuna mayo / mentaiko (spicy pollock roe))
Any thing he can't stop himself doing/being addicted >> whisky, searching 地產 [real estate] info on internet (he said it is 隔代遺伝 [used google and it means a family trait he inherited] (he said it was hereditary / atavism as his grandfather was in the real estate business), his grandfather did 地產 [real estate] business)[I wonder though, does he google himself? Is he planning on buying more properties? How many he has?]
Which things he has not tried before and he wants to try >> winter sports e.g skiing [Masha, don't! Very dangerous. Stick to something safer, like football or swimming with dolphins!]
The last question was very well answered: What should people live for >> For the people who have given them life
And I found the cake he was presented with at ANN ...
Seriously and in all honest opinion, doesn't look very appetising at all. I thought it was noodle wrapping a piece of meat with a fishcake with Ryoma's face drawn on it on top! Probably chocolate cake.
The following looks better ...
The above 2 pictures taken from the HK Discussion forums. I am not sure if this is really a picture of him with a cake or a fan photoshopping him into the picture with the cake or etc but now that is what I call a cake. That Ann one is...not a cake. Anyway Japanese aren't famous for their desserts so I suppose a birthday cake is still a cake however non appetising it looks.
Anyway how time flies. 41 already! That's the problem with having your birthday early in the year. You just get older way too fast.
