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!
NHK Special
"Life Force" Episode 1: Madagascar
Jan 30 (Sun) 21:00-21:58 (ASTRO Ch 398 at 8pm Malaysia time)
NOTE : In NHK it is called Hotspots but internationally known as Life Force
A documentary series focusing on "biodiversity hotspots" which is a place that accounts for just 3% of all the land on Earth, where 75% of the mammals, birds, and amphibians that currently face extinction are found. The first episode features Madagascar that became the land of lemurs through the accidental arrival of one small group of primates 60 million years ago. Cycles of tumultuous geological and climatic events caused the foundation family to mutate into over 100 species of lemurs through a series of evolutionary processes.
ABOUT THIS SUBTITLES
None. NHK did not bother to subtitle it as in any subtitle other than Japanese.
SUMMARY
As written by River of MashaPlus. I decided to leave it as it is because this has got to be one of the funniest recaps/summary ever. Further, * is an explanation by me.
Masha walking amongst the tree. Masha narrating the opening. He did sound different. Like a mix between Tosa accent and standard Japanese (probably using his Ryoma voice). The lady narrator took over. Once upon a time, before the huge volcanic eruption, Madagascar wass part of Australia and Africa. Now, it's an the island of its own. Around 65 million years ago, Masha's pet triceratop died. Thus, creating the unique Madagascar landscape now. It's back to Masha now, accompanied with explosion and epic soundtrack. Back to the lady narrator, with an American scientist talking about DNA. It's Masha again with that unfortunate pants. But when the camera points to his face only... Masha taking picture of his wife before the marriage ceremony. Now, they are officially married*
* Meaning he and the indri (a family of lemurs) which you must have seen in the TMO and the prologue, the one he made contact with using the mating call and kiss sounds that believe me pissed off a few fans for his callous womanising behaviour since poor lady indri responded and is now probably nursing a broken heart as they're famously monogamous animal, for life!
Need to stop deforestation in order for them to survive. That is why they are endangered species. They lick the Baobab flower nectar. He's walking on a burned land. The story about Indiri's ancestor accompanied by epic soundtrack.
