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!

And you will definitely want to check out the close ups done by fans on the baby pictures in the Normal Edition cover here at Post #834 Page 56. Whilst you were there check out I believe 10 or 11 year old Masha (I am taking a guess) here at Post #836 Page 56 as well. What a handsome young kid!! Looks like a class photo.

A follow up to this post of mine on THE BEST BANG!! album, BROS just updated with various versions of covers for the upcoming THE BEST BANG!! album. Such as...
LIMITED EDITION COVER (CD + DVD)
This one is funny! Young Masha at debut, older Masha currently. Good concept!
LIMITED EDITION (CD + TOWEL)
The towel looks good and I suppose your must bring item for the We're BROS tour 2011. The album had me looking twice. I thought he was surrounded by his band members but now that I look carefully, he is surrounded by various versions of him! Something a fan would make!
NORMAL EDITION
Just the CD only. Cover version same as Towel version.
For the list of songs, which includes some rather quirky comments/intro/identification to each song, you must check out BROS page. Remember to use the Translate function since all in Japanese.
By the way, the header looks great!
More stuff after Read More link.
[UPDATES] The Limited edition plus normal edition's CD cover in bigger size ...
Yeap, looks like a huge gathering of all his past covers on a stage. Innovative, sort of those only a fan would do (maybe even inspired by some fan made blog header) and frankly sorta creepy. The latest is in colour and in middle, you can see clearly because even those in colour seems to have faded colour like how his CD cover would have been, now after years in storage. And you can see he hardly puts on weight. By the way do you notice baby pictures at the back?!
[UPDATES 2] Larger version of LIMITED Edition (CD + DVD) cover side by side. Naysayers who think he went for plastic surgery along the way can analyse both pictures. Same mouth, same nose, same face, same eyes except now slight bigger as he is older and probably less angry at the world. That was when he was 19, now he's 41. How time flies. In wonder who actually proposed this cover? Because sorta successful you know, but rather inappropriate in the sense as if he is retiring and this is his last album compilation. Maybe 20 years to come when he releases another compilation called THE ULTIMATE BANG!!! he can insert his then picture into the 3rd space! Anyway he once said he looks like his mother and I suppose his brother looks like his dead father. If that is the case as I have said before, his mother must be very beautiful.
[UPDATES 3] A news on the We're Bros Tour 2011 and more importantly on the cover versions as posted above ...
Ahhhh not that odd at all. With 1 year's worth of filming, surely he was itching to go back to singing. So 2012 may be actor year again? I kinda miss him as an actor.

Fukuyama Masaharu announces huge nationwide tour! + upcoming album jackets revealed
Source : Tokyohive [17.10.2010]
A special announcement was made on October 16th through the radio show, “Fukuyama Masaharu no all night Nippon Saturday special Tamashii no radio” – Fukuyama Masaharu will hold a huge nationwide arena tour beginning on February 24th, 2011! The artist will make a round of 17 cities, performing on 46 stages in total. It’s been a year and 8 months since he held his last tour in 2009, which attracted approximately 500,000 fans; Fukuyama Masaharu’s new tour is slated to accommodate 600,000 fans!
Fukuyama has also revealed the jacket covers for his 3-CD best album, “THE BEST BANG!!“.
The front cover for the ‘limited edition’ album shows a young Fukuyama (aged 19) before he debuted as a singer; the reverse exhibits the singer in the present time at 41 years old.
There will be two more versions of the album: a “limited production edition” and a “regular edition”. Jacket covers for both albums display 44 images of Fukuyma Masaharu, as drawn from his singles and full-albums covers over the years. There’s even a picture of the singer from his infancy!
Oddly enough, 2011 will be the “singer Fukuyama” year, whereas 2010 was the “actor Fukuyama” year.
Ahhhh not that odd at all. With 1 year's worth of filming, surely he was itching to go back to singing. So 2012 may be actor year again? I kinda miss him as an actor.
