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!
I have mentioned about this snippet in my Quotes About Masha page (post dated 20.06.2010) very very briefly. I believe the contents merits a full post.
I love reading quotes by and about Masha, especially about his pre-celebrity days and one very enlightening letter written by his High School Teacher of 3 years sent to him in 2000 was read out in his Inasayama 2000 concert (18.06.2000) which was included in the very long title but I shall cut short it to simply Inasayama Live 2009 concert DVD. Naturally it was not subbed but one super dedicated fan has translated that portion into Chinese and another super dedicated fan by the name of Izumisano of Masha Heart has translated that into English so as not to deprive us English speaking fans as to what the teacher said that made Masha looked slightly embarrassed and at times laughing hard. What an interesting snippet to hear and read about Masha the delinquent or the cheeky student or even a potentially troubled one that loves music beyond anything else. And yes the teacher did touched on his love of pretty girls! And the teacher was there in the audience though the camera couldn't find him since there was so many people. Anyway here are some snippets;

Fukuyama is a rash and reckless student! He's the type of student who’d want to do things immediately, once they make up their mind. I could feel his passion for music just by watching him there, singing and playing his guitar. I realized then, that he was serious when he came to me about dropping out etc.Normally, he’s a fun and popular student. To take it further, you could call him a “lady-killer”. He was obviously not interested in learning English, but joined the English club only because the consultant teacher was pretty like Ishino Mako! He’s probably the only student for whom I had to make numerous home visits during their three years. Finally, I want to tell Fukuyama-kun that I’ve been listening to your FM radio show a lot lately. You’ve haven’t changed a bit from your High School days, you’re as talkative as ever...I’ve seen you in concert when you were in High School and I’m sure your passion for music, which I felt at that time, will remain unchanged to this day.

FULL TEXT TRANSLATION
The full text can be read here at Masha Heart. Izumisano did mention the translation is not literal meaning but rather a representation of what he said. So don't be surprised if what he said does not tally with what is written although in good faith that was what he meant.
DOWNLOAD/SUBBED VERSION
You must have noticed in the screencaps some are subbed. River of MashaPlus Info Forums actually took the effort to time that portion and I hardsubbed it. If you would like to see the subbed version, just use Post A Comment and post your email address. In return I ask only that you do not repost/reupload anywhere else.
