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 following from this source
Masaharu Fukuyama's "THE BEST BANG!!" has topped the sales charts for this week, selling approximately 381,000 copies. This is now the highest first-week sales for an album by a solo artist this year, surpassing the 290,000 copies sold by Kana Nishino's "to LOVE." Fukuyama is also the first male solo artist since Ken Hirai in 2005 to have first-week album sales over 300,000.
Released on November 17, "THE BEST BANG!!" is Fukuyama's first best album since 1999, and it includes songs from throughout his entire career.
By Izumisano, on his previous sales record;
For comparison, his highest selling albums (reported sales):
1999 “Dear” MAGNUM COLLECTION 1999 (Compilation) - 1,387,351
1995 M Collection ～Kaze wo sagashiteru (Compilation) - 1,303,490
2001 f (Original) - 875,404
1993 Calling - 853,010
1994 ON AND ON - 712,010
If it is a single, then Sakurazaka takes the cake which I believe has a sales figure of over 2 million copies.
