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!
Season 3 of Ryoma-Den known as Ryoma The Navigator will begin on 18.07.2010 with Episode 29. The following are some preview pictures taken from here and some snippets taken from here and translated by River. The following snippets contains both snippets translated by River and Mashamasha.
Aoi Yu will finally has her debut as the last of the four heroines, as (in real life but may be disputed) Ryoma's lover and no. 1 Geisha in Nagasaki. To make her more interesting, they write her as a secretly practising Christian and spy. The stage has moved to Nagasaki and we will finally see the Sat-Cho Alliance takes effect.
Of course, the much-awaited scene, the Teradaya Incident, where (naked) Oryo saves him and they finally married (no info on whether they will have a honeymoon scene or not). Ryoma will also grow, to become more businessman-like, with new hair, PLUS, boots and pistol. His voice, his way of speech also undergoes some changes, he's the leader now. And of course, they tease us with the hints on future assassination, in which Suzuki-san confirmed Season 4 will have 10 episodes.
Image color of season III is red, Ryoma becomes target of assassins sent by different parties, love triangle between Ryoma, Oryo and the character played by Aoi Yu and honeymoon scene of Ryoma and Oryo will have a surprise scene.
I wonder what surprise scene? Someone walks in on them? Someone comes and disrupts honeymoon with political talk? Assassination attempts? WHAT?! I read somewhere whilst historical Oryo may have warned Ryoma of assassins fully naked, in this series she may be more modestly covered with a robe. Really? A pity! Will see see Sana and even Kao again? How interesting to have all 4 women standing together with Ryoma in the middle. Anyway, a better translation of almost same content (source link here) by Izumisano:-
Why bother with love triangle? Oryo's heart and every woman's heart is set on Ryoma. I quite prefer a octagon love triangle, get every female character in here and Ryoma right smack in the middle!
And by the way, Masha looks extremely tired in the following pictures.
In addition to what River had said, according to Suzuki-san, Aoi Yuu's character Omoto will be written in to the love triangle with Ryoma & Oryo. Season 3 also covers the set-up of the Kameyama Shachū and the 2nd Choshu expedition. Beside all his new gear, Ryoma will wear a shirobakama (most formal type of hakama), Omoto's character will be given a lot of emphasis as a revolutionist, new scenes include sponge cake-baking in the Kameyama Shachū, Yataro being caught by the Shinsengumi in Kyoto, Ryoma's proposal to Oryo. Plus the love tirangle as Ryoma and Kondo Isami compete for Oryo. The Teradaya incident will be given special emphasis. The honeymoon will shot on location (and there will ba a surprise scene.....) Suzuki-san then talks about Masha and his growth in the role. Something about sleep and his other jobs? (not sure about this part) Praise at bringing it all together. And that he went drinking with his co-stars. It seems Season 3 will start to lay the ground for the build-up to the assassination.

And imagine this; Season 3 will start off with Ryoma and none of his childhood friends from Season 1! How depressing!
