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!

The title Izakaya ("居酒屋") which I check is a reference to a type of Japanese drinking establishment or quite simply using google translation, The Pub, sung by enka singers, Nana Kinomi and Hiroshi Itsuki. Here Masha did a duet with a singer named Aiko at her show, All Night Nippon's sing! aiko back then in year 2000. Very blue-sy, I sorta wish Masha will explore more of this genre as his voice is perfect for it. By the way after reading the lyrics, sounds like Masha kind of song!

ORIGINAL VERSION
I believe it has a Big Band feel to it as opposed to Blue-sy feel. Not sure what's the year but looks like in the 70s.
THE LYRICS
KANJI

もしも きらいでなかったら
何か一杯 のんでくれ
そうね ダブルのバーボンを
遠慮しないで いただくわ
名前きくほど 野暮じゃない
まして 身の上話など
そうよ たまたま 居酒屋で
横にすわっただけだもの
絵もない 花もない 歌もない 飾る言葉も
洒落もない そんな居酒屋で
外へ出たなら 雨だろう
さっき 小雨がパラついた
いいわ やむまで 此処にいて
一人グイグイ のんでるわ
それじゃ 朝までつき合うか
悪い女と知り合った
別に 気にすることはない
あなた さっさと帰ってよ
絵もない 花もない 歌もない 飾る言葉も
洒落もない そんな居酒屋で

Moshimo kirai de nakattara
Nani ka ippai nonde kure
Sou ne daburu no baabon wo
Enryo shinai de itadaku wa
Namae kiku hodo yabo janai
Mashite minoue hanashi nado
Sou yo tamatama izakaya de
Yoko ni suwatta dakedo mono
E mo nai hana mo nai uta mo nai kazaru kotoba mo
Share mo nai sonna izakaya de
Soto e deta nara ame darou
Sakki kosame ga bara tsuita
Ii wa yamu made koko ni ite
Hitori guigui nonderu wa
Sore ja asa made tsuki au ka
Warui onna to shiri atta
Betsu ni ki ni suru koto wa nai
Anata sassato kaette yo
E mo nai hana mo nai uta mo nai kazatu kotoba mo
Share mo nai sonna izakaya de

If there’s something you don’t hate
Have a drink
Yeah, I’ll come right out
And have a double bourbon
I’m not gauche enough to ask your name
Let alone anything about you
Yeah, we just happen to be sitting
Together at a pub
In a shabby pub
With no pictures, no flowers, no songs or flowery words
If you’re thinking of going outside, I think it’s raining
I heard the pitter-patter of drizzle before
It’s OK, I’ll stay in here until it stops
I’ll sit here and chug down drinks on my own
In that case, should I stay with you until the morning?
I’ve met some bad girls
You don’t need to worry about that
You just go on home
In a shabby pub
With no pictures, no flowers, no songs or flowery words
