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 didn't know about this until today. NTV broadcast on 04.12.2011 the News Zero edition at 23:24pm Japan time which was 10:24pm Malaysia time and in the 2nd half of the show around 11:00pm Malaysia time I switched on my Keyhole TV and amazingly, to me very clear reception. Around 10 minutes later, still blurry but at least I could hear and see images in one of those rare times. It is the coverage about Emiri Miyamoto's participation at Kouhaku on 31.12.2010 as the guest violinist in Masha's performance of Michishirube 2010 at his concert venue at Pacifico Yokohama. We see her walking in a studio for rehearsals, then at the concert venue where Masha was rehearsing then her turn for rehearsal and then we see the behind the scenes before Kouhaku beamed live; how Masha greeted the fans, explained to them what is going to happen as in briefing them and then introducing Emiri and then being handed his guitar and then of course the Kouhaku moment and the rest you know already. Exciting stuff but too short. I always love watching concert rehearsals, something rather intriguing. And I still feel Emiri should have been given a place to stand right behind Masha when performing, after all she is a guest violinist who is famous in her own right. To chuck her away somewhere behind there is just pointless. Masha wasn't interviewed, it was Emiri's moment in the spotlight and rightly so. But you see him in the clips since you can't have Michishirube 2010 without Emiri and without Masha.

HD video is up. Meanwhile, for that Kouhaku performance, click here. For the Daikanshasai 2010 at Pacifico Yokohama (as in right after Kouhaku), click here. He sang Michishirube 2010, the difference between Michishirube 2010 and the Michishirube version is Michishirube 2010 has Emiri Miyamoto as guest violinist whilst original Michishirube did not have violin in it. You can check out the lyrics here and here. FYI, Michishirube 2010 is News Zero's themesong, as was Michishirube the previous year.

SCREENCAPTURES
The following are very blurry screencaps from keyhole TV version in anticipation of better quality video. Will replace these with better quality ones once the HD version is out.
DOWNLOAD
Ripped from youtube. MP4 format, 229.43MB. I just watched it in full and towards the end there was the performance in full with frosted border. Since the words NHKG appeared in it, I think the uploaded added that part into the News Zero clip since I don't remember News Zero having that Kouhaku performance. The effect is lovely and since it is HD, lovely to look at. A must download.
