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!

I have heard version of this song in Chinese and only today after Masha singing it as a request song in ANN do I realise it is a Japanese song from 1975. The title is 時の過ぎゆくままに or in Romaji it is Toki no Sugiyuku Mamani and thanks to Izumisano, the original singer is Kenji Sawada. A great song in any language will remain a melodic song. I am sure the Japanese lyrics speaks of a rather depressing situation but there are a few other versions such as the Mandarin equivalent is 愛你一萬年 or Loving You For 10,000 years which is essentially a love song by rock god Wu Bai and Cantonese version by pin up idol, Kenny Bee where the title is 讓一切隨風 which can be literally translated as Let Everything Follow The Wind or in a more poetic sense, Let The Wind (Fate) Lead The Way which is how I see the title, which sounds more like a song about life perhaps. That version is the one I have been hearing for years. Wynners in 1976 actually had a version titled "Part of The Game"! There may be other versions I may not aware of since I really do not know who is the originator of the Chinese version.
Anyway fantastic song. All the versions I know of after Read More link.
ORIGINAL VERSION
Released in 1975. 時の過ぎゆくままに (Toki no Sugiyuku Mamani) by Kenji Sawada. Using google translator, the title seems to be "As Time Passes By" which is pretty close to the translation done by Megchan which is The Passage Of Time!
KANJI
あなたはすっかり つかれてしまい
生きてることさえ いやだと泣いた
こわれたピアノで 想い出の歌
片手でひいては ためいきついた
時の過ぎゆくままに
この身をまかせ
男と女が ただよいながら
堕ちてゆくのも しあわせだよと
二人つめたい からだ合わせる
からだの傷なら なおせるけれど
心のいたでは いやせはしない
小指に食い込む 指輪を見つめ
あなたは昔を 思って泣いた
時の過ぎゆくままに
この身をまかせ
男と女が ただよいながら
もしも二人が 愛せるならば
窓の景色も かわってゆくだろう
時の過ぎゆくままに
この身をまかせ
男と女が ただよいながら
もしも二人が 愛せるならば
窓の景色も かわってゆくだろう
ROMAJI
Anata wa sukkari tsukarete shimai
Ikiteru koto sae iya da to naita
Kowareta piano de omoide no uta
Katate de hiite wa tameiki tsuita
Toki no sugiyuku mama ni kono mi wo makase
Otoko to onna ga tadayoinagara
Ochite yuku no mo shiawase da yo to
Futari tsumetai karada awaseru
Karad no kizu nara naoseru keredo
Kokoro no itade wa iyase wa shinai
Koyubi ni kuikomu yubiwa wo mitsume
Anata wa mukashi wo omotte naita
Toki no sugiyuku mama ni kono mi wo makase
Otoko to onna ga tadayoinagara
Moshimo futari ga ai suru naraba
Mado no keshiki mo kawatte yuku darou
Toki no sugiyuku mama ni kono mi wo makase
Otoko to onna ga tadayoinagara
Moshimo futari ga ai suru naraba
Mado no keshiki mo kawatte yuku darou
ENGLISH
Taken from Megchan.net
You were so exhausted
Crying that you didn't want to live anymore
Playing a nostalgic tune on the broken piano with one hand
You sighed
Entrusting our bodies to the passage of time
Men and women drift along
We might be happier if we fell
We press our freezing bodies together
Physical wounds can be healed
But not wounds of the heart
You bit your little finger, staring at your ring
As you cried, remembering the past
Entrusting our bodies to the passage of time
Men and women drift along
I wonder if the scenery outside the window
Will change if we fall in love
Entrusting our bodies to the passage of time
Men and women drift along
I wonder if the scenery outside the window
Will change if we fall in love
MANDARIN VERSION
Released in 1990, I think. 愛你一萬年 (Loving you for 10,000 years) by Wu Bai (伍佰). I believe Andy Lau has a song with the same title. The master of Rock and with his guitar he gave this song a rock twist. Amazing version! But Chinese lyrics are short and repeats itself.
MANDARIN VERSION
The lyrics is different from the Japanese version
寒風吹起細雨迷離 風雨揭開我的記憶
我像小船尋找港灣 不能把妳忘記
愛的希望愛的回味 愛的往事難以追億
風中花蕊深怕枯萎 我願為妳祝福
我愛你我心已屬於你 今生今世不移
在我心中再沒有誰 代替你的地位
我愛你對你付出真意不會漂浮不定
我要為我再想一想 我決定愛你一萬年
CANTONESE VERSION
Released in 1985, 讓一切隨風 which can be literally translated as Let Everything Follow The Wind or in a more poetic sense, Let The Wind (Fate) Lead The Way. Do ignore the English hardcoded in the video. Nothing to do with the Cantonese lyrics at all. Sung by the ever youthful looking and raspy voice Kenny Bee.
CANTONESE LYRICS
The lyrics is different from the Japanese AND Mandarin version
風中風中心裡冷風吹失了夢
事未過去就已失蹤此刻有種種心痛
心中心中一切似空天黑天光都似夢
迷迷惘惘聚滿心中追蹤一片冷的風
* 各種空虛冷冷冷吹起吹起風裡夢
過去的心火般灼熱今天已變了冰凍
記憶中突然又痛只因空虛再作弄
你似北風吹走我夢就讓一切隨風 *
Repeat one time
Repeat *
ENGLISH VERSION
From 1976, way before the Cantonese version but I suppose shortly after the Japanese version. By Wynners, and I suppose sung by Kenny Bee. Title is Part Of The Game.

Thanks for the song, and the original as well. I've heard the Chinese version from Andy lau and vietnamese translated version, and thought it was a chinese song all these time. Also thanks for staying on top of the marraige rumor too..i was getting kind of sad that my new found idol is getting married...but i guess not now..i've only been a fan for the past two weeks... your site is awesome keep up the good work..
Nikki, you're very welcomed! However I must add Andy Lau's version is a different song but with the same title.
And Masha... well he will get married someday, I hope. But right now, not yet.
yeah he will eventually married but until that day comes i can still day dream hahahha.... now that you say that i don't know if it's Andy Lau or one of the four heavenly king of hong kong who sings it, but it is between the late 90s and 2000s.
