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!

Yataro's Tears/Yataro no Namida
Yataro's father, Yajiro, clashes with a village chief who had deliberately cut down water distribution to low-ranking samurai. Ryoma, who saw Yajiro being beaten up, intervenes. Learning the situation, Yataro returns to Tosa to bring the chief's misconduct to justice but is rejected because of his low status. Ryoma and Yataro turn to Yoshida Toyo, an influential figure of Tosa clan, but he also plays down the case. To bring the injustice to public light, Yataro writes down the incident on the public office fence and is sent to prison.

PLOT SUMMARY
NOTE
I did not watch this episode today so I just took the following info from the fan discussion for better understanding of what is going on in this episode. Thanks to River for the walkthrough.
It's 1856 now, we're having a brotherly talk between Gonpei and Ryoma. And without knowing who was being beaten, Ryoma went to the rescue. It's Yajiro.Yataro went to see those that beat up his father, but was laughed and thrown out. He met with Takechi Hanpeita now. And this guy is giving all the advise he could. Takechi Hanpeita is getting quite obsessive here. Ryoma asked Kao out. Takechi's gang are going somewhere, it consists of Takechi, Izou and Soujiro. Ryoma confessed to Kao about liking her. Ryoma is chasing Kao~ in some sort of festival. Ryoma is trying to explain what's going on with Chiba-dojo. (Someone told Kao about Sana and she became jealous and walked away from the date).Yataro will write his graffiti (possibly about accusing the magistrate of taking bribes) and Ryoma lets him do it. And Yataro is thrown into jail because of that.
Next week: Ryoma goes to Edo again. And it seems everyone in Tosa is also in Edo. And months have passed now, Yataro is still in prison.

RATINGS
Coming soon. But according to River, "According to 2ch, this is another funny episode. Both Masha and Kagawa are really on top of their performance. However, some of them mentioned the story doesn't move much when the drama shifted to Tosa. It was the scene in Edo that has some historical significant". 20% perhaps? We shall know in a day or two.
22.02.2010
River reports the rating is 22.3%. Wow! A definite increase from last week!
