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!
The above picture started my hunt for the source. I have never seen the above pictures before so I asked and Szeying hunted down the possible sources; it could be either 2002図録“福山雅治×植田正治 (I don't think it is this one as that is Masha X Ueda Shoji photobook with very artistic pictures from what I can see) or 福山雅治写真集/ハービー・山口★僕のライカと福山雅治 or 福山雅治 DISTANCE 写真集 1998年. A feeling says it could be 福山雅治写真集/ハービー・山口★僕のライカと福山雅治 and it means it is prior to 1998 since 1998 is the Part II book. Correct me if I am wrong. I know he has photobooks over the years but I never knew he had so many good ones. In my mind I kept seeing Ryoma photobooks which were fantastic but these older ones, probably late 1990s to early 2000 are also great finds. I am not sure if they're available for sale in bookshops but you can still find them in online auction shops, unfortunately for those with Japanese addresses. But you can still buy Portrait in bookshops as Halad,the one who made all those wonderful avatars and sigs bought one. So if you have never seen these before and would like to add to your collection, have a lookout for these although the prices are quite steep, but really depends on paper quality and thickness. I am sure the most experienced Masha fans would know these and if you do know more, like the theme, picture content, year taken, etc do use Post A Comment. I really don't know much about these except they exist. A huge thanks to Szeying for bringing these to my attention!
You'll find details and sample pictures for Portrait, 2002 Fukuyama Masaharu X Ueda Shoji, Leica Live Life and Distance : Leica Live Life II photobooks after Read More link.
PORTRAIT
Available in shops in Japan. Online sample is here. You would have seen these pictures in my Facebook gallery, all taken by Halad. I finally know where some pictures came from!
LEICA LIVE LIFE
Aka 福山雅治写真集/ハービー・山口★僕のライカと福山雅治 . This is I suppose Part I. Leica is a camera brand. I have no idea what's the theme or why. From the few samples, seems more on his concert action which I always love to see. Online sample is here.
"DISTANCE" : LEICA LIVE LIVE II
I suppose this is part 2. This is the one I really like from what I can see with his happier looking pictures. Rarely seen him smile the way he did in this one and I finally knew where the picture with the old lady came from. I've seen that old lady picture somewhere! A sample here.
2002 FUKUYAMA MASAHARU X UEDA SHOJI
He and his sensei, with highly artistic pictures. You can see some samples here. I think some has been used as CD covers. This book comes in 2 books; 100 page main book divided into 4 sections ranging between 1994-1999 and 2nd thinner book which is the Making Of book.
