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!
Thanks to River for translating the following news taken from Oricon. If you happen to be in Japan do check out the fossil! Check out the actual exhibition pictures here.
'I want to give back to the fans', says Fukuyama Masaharu from the set of his PV, Kokoro Colour ~A song for a wonderful year~. A set of dinosaur's bones, standingabout 2.4M in height and 10M in length has been built. This set will be displayed in a Commemorative Event to celebrate Fukuyama's 20 years in the industry and also the release of his best album, The Best Bang!! (17th Nov).
Hopefully this will cheer up the viewers who watched it. The shooting was done in a secret location in the city. The director decided to combine the PV with clay animation, even the CG was hand-drawn instead. I never like digital that much, thus, it was done in an analog way.
A special sticker will be given to the visitors who go to the event, which will start on the 22nd this month (November 2010). Fukuyama's timeline and also his cover arts will also be displayed.
The event details as below and translated by River from this source
Exhibition will be held in 1st Floor, Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo from the 16th until 22nd Nov. It opens from 11am until 7pm. And this part is slightly confusing, it stated that the first 1000 visitors who brings The Best Bang!! CD bought at the record stores will receive that special stickers.
I wonder what special stickers?
Anyway proper English translation of the same news provided by musicjapanplus which confirms the above contents;

Singer and actor Fukuyama Masaharu is looking back on 20 years in music business and he will be releasing his best-of album "THE BEST BANG!!" on November 17th. In commemoration of the release, he will be opening a special event from today, November 16th in Tokyo at the Marunouchi Building.
"There is a favor I would like to return to the fans", he said about the venue which he used to realize this project. For the music video of his single "Kokoro color ~ a song for the wonderful year" from his best-of album, the same set has been used, with the large dinosaur fossils installed in it, and is eventually reused for the event. Being able to take pictures in the same place as Fukuyama, is certainly something to be excited about as a fan.
"I will sing to support everyone at their heart and when seeing this, maybe somewhere a heart starts dancing." Fukuyama commented on the song of the music video.A special point about the video is certainly the mix of clay animation and drawn animation, which is used both for the clip.
The event with the set will be opened until November 22nd and the scenery had been used for the album cover design and Fukuyama's chronology until "THE BEST BANG!!" Moreover, the first 1000 people reaching the set for the event will receive a special sticker as a memorial gift as well.
