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!
When an online friend of mine said some time ago she thought Masha was Ekin Cheng, I thought she was joking. Ok, now I admit, Ekin Cheng do look like Masha, especially when he is on the Ryoma hair. I am not sure what's the exact date of the pictures below and so before you think he is copying Ryomasha style which he may be doing that, Ekin has always sported shoulder length hair, albeit a straight shoulder length hair. As for the shorter hair, I am not sure what movie is that but it doesn't look like Yukawa sensei's style, although similar. Have a look ...

I think they're same age? No, Ekin is 2 years older. Ekin may be a lousy singer and a somewhat hit and miss actor, but he has reached an iconic status because when acting, this man has got style of the heroic kind. He still looks good and he does look best with long-ish hair. If you wonder who is Ekin Cheng, he is an actor/singer from HK. The lady next to him in the above pictures is Joey Yung, also actress/singer from HK. Read more about Ekin Cheng here and Joey Yung here.
By the way, Ekin Cheng did a cover version of Koibito in Cantonese way back when he was a full time singer so to speak. Have a listen here!
You want my opinion? Masha is of course a genuine musician, far better singer and a far better actor than Ekin and also more handsome. But the likeness in terms of looks (height wise Masha is of course taller) also extends to the idea of iconic status. Ekin is admittedly all style on screen which very few actors can emulate, hence his ability to play comic heroes to the hilt. Masha has that same quality. Likewise I would think HK version of Yukawa Manabu should be Ekin Cheng even if Ekin will of course interpret the character as someone cool but nice.
