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!
Masha and his staff has been posting lots of messages these few days, considering what happened and so many cancellations. You can read them here, here, here and here. Masha himself on 14.03.2011 posted a long message to BROS members, with some heartfelt message and advice which must be shared. I would like to thank Akari Sunaga of Facebook for translating Masha's message so vividly. Masha, I hear you!

福山です
僕もそうですが、誰もがテレビを見ていて無力感が増すばかりだと思います。
そして、誰もが「自分に出来ることは何か」を必死に考えてると思います。
どんなに辛いニュースでも、
いまそれを見逃さないこと、聞き逃さないこと、
受け止めること、知ることが正義感のような義務感のような、
そんな不安定な気持ちのまま時間だけが過ぎていっています。
個人レベルで出来ることは、募金や義援金を。
被災していない地域では節電を。
知人や友人とは情報の交換を。
答えは出ているようです。
いまは「自分に出来ることをする」しかないと。
想像を絶する場面に遭遇しながらも、
現場で救助や復旧にあたっている方々には心から敬服いたします。
被災された方々同士で助け合っているその思いやりに胸が締め付けられます。
ひとりでも多くの人が救われますよう、人の力を信じたいです。
人の心を信じたいです。
個人でできること以外、僕らの生業であるエンターテイメントが、
お見舞いと哀悼の気持ちを持ちながら、いまできることは何か？
現在スタッフ全員で考え協議しているところです。
今後のライブについてどうするかは、
混乱を避けるために慎重に検討しています。
ご迷惑をおかけしていますが、いましばらくお待ちください。

This is Fukuyama.
I think anyone, including myself, watching TV right now must be feeling very anxious and helpless. And anyone and everyone probably are desperately thinking "What can I do to help?" No matter how horrible and agonizing the news, right now, keep watching, keep listening, keep understanding and taking it in, keep knowing what is going on.
What we can all do is donations and volunteering efforts. Save energy in homes and buildings that are unaffected or are still running. Exchange information among friends and relations and others you know. The answer is already out. That right now, there is only "I will do what I can do."
No words can express my admiration for those who willingly work to rescue and help despite encountering these horrible events that exceed our imaginations. My chest feels heavy when I consider how the evacuees are dealing with this emergency and helping one another. So that even one more person can be saved, I want to believe in our power as people.
Other than what we can do as people, in our profession as entertainers, along with our feelings of great sympathy and our silent prayers, what can we do? That is what everyone in the staff is thinking about and working towards right now.
About the concerts in the near future: To avoid causing unnecessary confusion and inconvenience during these troubling times, we are considering our options with utmost caution. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience these delays might cause, but right now, please be patient.
