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 am daydreaming again, because if he has this breakthrough idea of inviting bloggers (note: not those commercial bloggers or those connected with online newspapers aka reporters/journalists), it won't be me. But just imagine, if Masha suddenly announces in BROS "inviting personal bloggers to review my concerts! Here is the form! Condition : Must have a blog", I predict Wordpress and Blogger will have a sharp increase in new registrations! And nope, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and Livejournal does not count as a blog! Why? Because I said so! Anyway , my message to Masha which is really for the eyes of his fans. Japanese fans, if you see this, do use Google translator. In short I am saying "Masha, invite bloggers to review your concerts, pick me!" ...
Dear Masha,
Just an idea for you; instead of inviting medias as in journalists, why not invite personal bloggers that has a personal non-profit blog in Blogger, Wordpress and similar to your concert, give prime seats, grant a "shake hand" lineup and watch your concert this year?! I don't mind lining up for 3 hours for that shaking hand thing. I wouldn't even mind lining up, period! It's quite an idea don't you think? Why? First of, we have no reason to sell newspapers, so that means whatever we say is neutral, at least as neutral as any fan can be. You can even invite those who talks about J-pop, K-pop, Canto-pop or music in general and not you specifically. Our review will firstly be from the perspective of a concert goer, we will write in 10 parts on what went on in your concert from the moment we step off the plane until we sit right in front of our computers/laptop to write the experience. We will even have facebook galleries, probably 10 folders in all, recounting hour by hour what went on. We will not include nonsense and unsubstantiated reports or make scheduling timetable for you just because you said "I love to..." and never even finished your sentence. We will write more on our experience, rather than just a mere report. Most of all, we will write for the next whole year with repetition every week because we had such a great time and had the chance to do what we love; blogging and blogging about you in a positive way, even when there's no electricity in the concert hall and you're singing using portable karaoke in complete darkness. Major publicity for the price of a concert ticket. I am sure you get what I mean. But you will do so not for publicity but because you... love... us! That will be the day for us personal bloggers, the day when we feel we have a little part to play in your grand scheme of things in your career.
Do consider it, and when you do have an eureka moment as above, do remember me, Funn Lim of All About Fukuyama Masaharu at http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com
With lots of love,

P/S: In case you do feel to put a condition of "domain name required", do give at least 2 weeks notice before closing the window on which site to consider. I will immediately register my domain name although I might have to change the name since someone might have taken my name. But I do have my own domain name, Point2Entertainment at http://point2e.com where I do write about you. Please, consider me! And I will learn Japanese so I can understand at least a quarter of what you're saying in your concerts.
I wonder how I will sound in Japanese? I probably sound like a lunatic. And Masha will probably ban me since you know, I have an entire very long detailed post on his marriage rumour and all those download links. Oh dear, I am doomed! Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
