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!

Teradaya no Haha/Mother at Terada Inn
On the way back to Kobe, Ryoma encounters a woman named Otose, who looks just like his late mother, at Teradaya, an inn in Kyoto, which motivates Ryoma to return to the naval academy with a refreshed mind and heart. Meanwhile, Choshu clan, whose clansmen were killed at Ikedaya, plots to regain its power in the Imperial Court and advances its troops to Kyoto where they battle against Aizu clan which is placed to guard the Imperial Palace. With Satsuma clan's support, Aizu clan defeats Choshu clan while Kusaka kills himself. Ryoma takes Ryo, who is burnt out of her house, to Teradaya and asks Otose to look after her.

PLOT SUMMARY
Ryoma did a shy smile to Otose. Ryoma asked her whether she's been to Tosa before. Ryoma really wished Otose is who he thinks she is. she motivates him to work for Nippon. He called her 'mother' and replied with 'Ryoma'. Ryoma requested Otosa to reply him with "Ryoma" after he called her "Mother". After they did this, Ryoma's response is "As expected, totally different feel (with my mother), good night!" and then ran away! Oozumi yo, kaname jun and hiroaka yuta are practising English. At least Ryoma seems to gain his confidence now. Chojiro bringing the news of Chosu involvement. It seems he's Bakumatsu's internet during that time. Ryoma found Oryo! There's no more rice to feed her family. Oryo has to bring a huge cube of grass from the boat to the lodging. Ryoma has just arrived and he simply gave his hat to Oryo while he took that grass on his shoulder. Goto meets with Yodo. Yodo seems to be bored with the Takechi talks. And Goto still wants Izo to confess Takechi's crime. School's being closed down because they're housing the dappan roshi. Even Yataro can't bear to see Izo interrogated. He's trying to get Oryo to smile! She's running away from her feelings.... He doesn't know where he's going.
Next week: Yataro tries to get Izo to eat that bun (with poison?).
REVIEWS
As reported by River of MashaPlus Info Forums on fans reaction of this episode, those who got to see it one hour earlier or so.
According to 2ch, another top-notch performance from Masha. And they love the flirty scene. Some other memorable moments are the battle between Chosu and Satsuma-Aizu. Because it looks great. And Katsura's emotion is also well done.
