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!

REVIEW
As reported by River on the reaction by Japanese fans at the 2ch forums.
I was particularly affected by some rather extremely negative comments which borders on hate and biasness (and coming from someone who often spews such hate, I must say I was never that irrational!) in certain forums, I was very happy to have read Mashamasha summing up the reaction at another equally hard to please forum that is the Japanese fans at the 2ch forum. This must be shared because I find if there is a way to criticise someone, at least use constructive criticisms. Some were, in that forum I read but there were others which was I am not sure how to put it. Which makes me remember my role as I write reviews. I will from now on concentrate more on good constructive criticisms. I hope I have been fair as a reviewer. If not, I shall put this into my head for reviews after The Gem Of Life (if you don't know what I am talking about, it is ok). Anyway, the positive posts ...
SOME PICTURES
Taken from HK Fans Discussion Forums. I really like the 3rd one, with him looking rather glum, an expression that well, admittedly Masha can do really well. Like the world is crashing down, the entire weight of the world on his shoulders.

PLOT SUMMARY
Taken from fans discussion for some understanding of the plot. Spoilers alert.
Sana dressing up. (ryoma) Tosa outer clothes. he's not been pardoned yet. Can he put on his family crest? (Is that his family crest?). These officials don't know he's a ronin. Oh they want to attack him. Yes, I think he told everyone he's a ronin too. Thankfully Chiba-sensei was there. So that's how they explain how this Ryoma can get to see Katsu. Whose that imperial guy in purple?? Tokugawa Iemochi. How do Takechi got there? he's bowing on a western room. Unaccompanied to Katsu Rintaro's house. Katsu in western pants. Feels like he is attending a test. Katsu is giving him a hard time. Ryoma feeling rejected.did Ryoma just called Katsu Rintaro a baka? he failed the meeting. He declined Juntaro's proposal Oi Yozumi is there. I think a servant/assistant to Katsu. Something Yataro said made Oizumi Yo to Edo. He's rejecting Sana AGAIN. Takechi also visits Katsu Rintaro. Katsu finally re-considers. Takechi is adamant, doesnt care about the world. It's all Nippon to him. that looks like a bad treatment to Chojiro. Even kashi gave him bad treatment like that. Now it's Ryoma's turn to snub Katsu. Katsu is telling of his vision/dream.... Japanese Navy. Ryoma excited to hear that vision/dream.
Next week, he finally comes face to face with Sana. And further adventure on the ship.
REVIEW
As reported by River on the reaction by Japanese fans at the 2ch forums.
Early review on episode 16. They like it. It's back to bakumutsu politics. Takechi is cool (of course, he got in Edo court now), Izo continues his hitokiri style, and even Ryoma has his moment, especially his first meeting. The casting is top notch. Some even remark Takeda Tatsuya did not make them cringe too much. Overall, an interesting episode.
I was particularly affected by some rather extremely negative comments which borders on hate and biasness (and coming from someone who often spews such hate, I must say I was never that irrational!) in certain forums, I was very happy to have read Mashamasha summing up the reaction at another equally hard to please forum that is the Japanese fans at the 2ch forum.

I will from now on concentrate more on good constructive criticisms. I hope I have been fair as a reviewer. If not, I shall put this into my head for reviews after The Gem Of Life (if you don't know what I am talking about, it is ok). Anyway, the positive posts ...
the comments given in 2 ch. Full of praises.Some said this episode is filled with hope and brightness, which gives them courage and oil for working hard (at least for this week)! And some said they cried from the part ryoma's second interview where he finally found out his answer to his question he has been asking for so long, i.e. how to expel foreigners and protect Japan without getting involved in a war, to the Kurofune (black ships) part. They feel happy for ryoma because he can get on the kurofune (black ships) (and finally get employed) They particularly praised Fukuda san for letting ryoma find out the answer by himself, instead of being told by Katsu san- summarised by Mashamasha from MashaPlus Info Forums
