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!
An interesting interview partially translated. I am thinking is Character Design = Costume Designer? Since the article itself uses Character Design, I will stick with it. Anyway, the following is by River of MashaPlus Info Forums. The original article in full and in Japanese is here at fashionjp.net. Some really great high res pictures there as well.
Partial extract of the interesting part ...
KT = Lady interviewerIT = Isao Tsuge
KT: Do you always this serious when watching this taiga drama? (referring to the previous answer where Tsuge-san take note on each wrinkle and dirts that appeared)IT: Yes. I think Ryoma is the type of man that attracts everyone, he's the central axis. People have enormous belief in him. He has an a vision on Japan that was shared by everyone.
KT: Do you think that type of attraction also ties to the person that plays him?IT: You're right. In this drama, Fukuyama has shown a flexibility and a remarkable sense of adjustment that's just just give out a positive vibe. I'm strongly attached to this kind of person
KT: When I first read about the leading actor, I thought to myself, 'why not Kimutaku?' Now I came to an understanding. People might not like Kimutaku.IT: He has a strong public perception, that playing Ryoma might be hard in shedding that perception.
KT: it's precisely because of Fukuyama, that the feat was accomplished. And there's also part of him that remind me of Tsuge-san.IT: Top Runner?KT: Composing with his guitar.
The rest of the conversation revolves around KT's wish for Tsuge-san to provide the lyrics on Masha's song (I didn't know he write poetry?). And Ryoma's hairstyle, and also Takeru's acting: IT: Takeru-kun is a genius. He has a good movement and gives out an innocence aura.. The story on teeth polishing in the Edo period. Plus, character sketches of both Izo and Yataro.
The interview also implied that Tsuge-san might encounter some oppositions, especially in the area of wig. What do you mean our wigs are not good enough?? The hairstyle doesn't fit your head naturally! Thankfully Chief Producer Suzuki-san decided to go ahead, if we're going to break new ground, then, we might as well innovate the whole wardrobe. Which Tsuge-san said that he's lucky in that sense.

I am sure you would have seen most if not all of the following which ranges from Season 1 to season 4 but the only difference is these are all high res version. All taken from here at fashionjp.net. All are thumbnails so do click on them for full size.
