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!
This post consists of his two 2009 concerts, [2009] FUKUYAMA MASAHARU 20th ANNIVERSARY WE'RE BROS. TOUR 2009 ～Michishirube～ (道標) and Fukuyama Natsu No Dai Sougyou Sai Inasayama 2009, the latter is his triumphant return to Nagasaki and the former is the one I previously blogged about. I am combining both because both are sold as a twin set (called Limited Edition which at the time of posting is sold out) with really special gifts. What's more, there is a preview of the bonus clips in the DVDs AND the most sought after music box in action posted in youtube, so check out the items after Read More link.
FYI, if you're one of those who bought the twin sets, you must have received by now or will be very soon! You must be super excited about of all things, the music box eh? If you didn't buy, like yours truly, don't miss out on this post! Very envious but feels this is one quality bonus product!
THE GOODS
I love the Inasayama box (left). Like a whimsical art.

The poster
I believe from the Inasayama concert
The music box
Playing the tune Michishirube. Much sought after by fans. Quite small actually, fits comfortably into your palm and then some.
MASHA & THE GOODS
THE GOODS IN ACTION
A show off indeed but nonetheless this is one show off I won't mind! The music does sound like Masha's pitch when singing the song! Fantastic buy you all. Very envious!!
THE PREVIEW OF BONUS CLIPS
I suppose why the DVDs are much sought after is because of hidden eggs or rather special bonus DVD. I never knew what the DVDs contain other than just the concerts (which could be different from the broadcast version on WOWWOW I read) but now I know. The following is a preview posted at youtube, where you get to see him working hard as well as Masha the man, hence I categorised this post as About Masha as well. You may want to download this as a keepsake, so use Clipnabber or similar. Or if you use Firefox, get this amazingly useful plugin that works even in new Youtube layout. Quality however is debatable.
THE NEWS REPORT
News Zero [Original broadcast date 28.04.2010]
Same version except longer and lower quality.
LIVE REPORTS
First hand reports of Inasayama 2009
Here and here at Masha Heart. Very interesting to read it was a 2 day special concert, he last sang at Mt Inasa in 2000 but this time in 2009 was really huge publicity as seen in above videos. Some goofs and mistakes as well. A must read!

None! You won't find this in public forums but I heard Jpopsuki.eu has it. However as always any questions do email me before it is too late.
QUALITY OF CLIPS
Concerning Inasayama one, the TV rip was a full concert with full MC and I suppose a step down from HD quality. The DVD release of course is superb. 3 discs, 1st and 2nd disc is the concert proper with The Document whilst 3rd disc are collection of clips from Inasayama 2000 with Masha's infamous revealing costume which prompted viewers to say they're not sure where to look. Safest strategy, just look!
