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!
Dendera Ryuuba or in Japanese, でんでらりゅうば which using google translator seems to mean "Where the electricity flows from" or Babelfish "So it is with others" which both doesn't make sense. Wiki says "Finger Play for Children" and that is even worse in all context. I don't think the title mean that, but rather this is a children's song/hymm where it is accompanied by some finger play. I also found another title next to this which is 長崎の民謡 which means Ballad of Nagasaki. Apparently it has lyrics as well though I am not sure which is the exact one. All I know is this is a Nagasaki folksong, not his original composition and he favours this song in part as his opening theme for his concert. He probably expanded on this folksong.This I believe is the first time it is released in an album and in full. And the more I listen to it, the more I like it. I definitely like the guitar part! You will find this in Disc 3 of THE BEST BANG!! compilation (CD + DVD version).
And because I like it so much, do find something special for you after Read More link.

THE LYRICS
KANJI
I suppose the following is the lyrics? I found this here which states that the lyrics is not standard language. I tried using online translator and none of the sentences make sense at all to me.
でんでらりゅうば
でてくるばってん
でんでられんけん
でてこんけん
こんこられんけん
こられられんけん
こん こん
ROMAJI
Using online translator
den de ra ryuu ba
de te kuru batten
den de rare n ken
de te kon ken
kon ko rare n ken
ko rare rare n ken
kon kon
ENGLISH
So if it not standard language, is the following correct translation? From this youtube video.
If I could come out, then I would come out,
but I can't come out, so I won't come out.
I can't come out; it's impossible to come out.
I won't
I won't.
Although the original lyrics translated into standard language using online translator sounds something like this (I found this here);
(Unless you'd go out)
(I go out)
(I do not go out)
(Go out)
(I do not go)
(From not go)
(I go, I go)
THE FINGER GAME
I wonder is this the one referred to? (I found this here, so do go there for more explanation)

while listening to your awesome song collection i made a discovery, nothing major just that there is a snippet of this song in the Koufukuron youtube video you posted.
Hi Nikki!
The concert version perhaps? I haven't check which video. Anyway he used snippets from this instrumental as opening for his concerts as well as I suppose you can call the middle?
Yes the concert and the opening..
