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!
Remember that one praise Masha gave on ANN on 19.02.2011 here? Huge news, at least amongst TVXQ's fans and were translated and reposted many times. Some facts were wrong, like Masha was a guest on a radio show celebrating his 1 million album sales of THE BEST BANG!! album (not true! He hosts his own radio show! And not sure about the 1 million thing) and the other person who was speaking with Masha was guest. I am guessing Sou-chan, his partner in the show. Anyway, a praise that is the mother of all praises and I am happy TVXQ's fans are excited because I am excited they're excited.
The news proper (relevant passages) from allkpop.com, the one that is without wrong facts;
On February 19th (2011), Fukuyama Masaharu, a popular Japanese actor/singer, praised TVXQ for their excellent dance performance skills and their powerful comeback track, “Keep Your Head Down.”
While talking about the choreography for his upcoming Asian tour, he mentioned, “The dances of our current generation are different from the moves in the past. TVXQ’s new track is really amazing.”
His guest commented, “Even though TVXQ came back with two members, their energy is still extremely powerful.”
Fukuyama responded, “I think we should play a TVXQ song today, since they’re so cool! I don’t know what it means to dance well, but the more I see TVXQ’s latest track, you can tell that there’s discipline behind it. The Korean music video especially is very nice.”
Previously, TVXQ declared themselves as fans of the singer, with their favorite song being “Milk Tea“. They’ll definitely be delighted to know that one of their respected Japanese seniors looks upon them approvingly!
However what I love though are the comments under the same article. Just a few but they made me smile;

To all the things Fukuyama said:
AMEN.
Indeed!

Dude...Fukuyama is pretty huge in Japan...BTW he ALSO mentioned something else~
After Fukuyama-san said, “I was happy when KARA’s Gyuri said that she liked me,” he said, “Although he’s not Tohoshinki at the moment, but for Yoochun, when he said he liked my song “milk tea,” I was also happy~”
I'm glad to know he supports them~ XD
Correction. Fukuyama is HUGE in Japan. But I am sure this comment must be an answer to the question "Who the heck is Fukuyama?!". Glad to know someone familiar with Masha in that comments section!
