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 following is translated by Izumisano from Chinese to English and the original post is by a huge Masha fan from HK, Midori P, calling for all overseas fans (that is not from or in Japan) to rise up to this momentous occasion of Masha stepping out of Japan (FINALLY!) and to Asia that is Taiwan on 24.03.2011. She wrote rather eloquently (and translated brilliantly of course by our resident translator) on the whys, hows, wheres, whos and whens. I intend to ask him when he's coming to Malaysia and the fact that I am going to him in August. In whatever is your language, come on! Show Masha our support and show everybody how it is done!
A note:
1. you need not be a BROS member to send this simple email
2. if you're at his concert, I suppose bringing your country's flag and waving it would be great since one of our MashaPlus member got shown on the big screen video when she waved her Australian flag at Wakayama concert. As for myself, I think maybe I will wave a small tiny flag, we shall see
3. all *xxxxx* means you fill in the blanks
All these by 21st March 2011!
Brilliant idea!
More details after Read More link since it is pretty long.
A call from Midori P to all overseas fans! (Friday 4 Mar)
To everyone in BROS, let's get together!
Good morning, the title is a bit exaggerated, gomenasai . I just wanted to use Masha's "Let's Get Together" in the Daikanshasai booklet!
So Masha is finally coming to Asia! Although we don't know for sure what he will be announcing in the Press Conference, let's show him some action and unity from the overseas fans! All this time, Masha has been worried about his popularity overseas. Although the total numbers of overseas fans cannot be compared with those within Japan, shall we give him a bit of reassurance?
May I suggest a "March Email Initiative"? I would be most grateful for your support
"March Email Initiative" details as follows:
For the first 3 weeks in March, could we all email our wishes to AllNightNippon TamaRadi, so as to show Masha and his staff the support he has from overseas fans?
Email Title: Love from *your country*
Greeting: Please standardize it as "Dear Masha, こんアジア" (こんアジア=Kon Asia)First Line: *your country*の *your name* です
Contents: At your discretion, in your language of choice. Please keep it short, simple and easy to understand.
** Email to : masha@allnightnippon.com** If you don't mind, please copy me @ mashamidori@yahoo.com.hk so I can collate the numbers. This is optional.
We may need to send our emails earlier as Masha is on tour so as not to disrupt the broadcast. Although we will not know if he will have the chance to read them himself, I believe the people around him would also like to ease his mind and let him know!
Please pass the news of this "March Email Initiative" around! Thank you!
With best regards,Midori
P.S. (Midori)These are examples of things that I am planning to write- whether I can fly to taiwan to meet him at the airport;- ask for a concert in my country; I'll wait for him!- wishing him a happy time in Taiwan and inviting him to come to HK
(Izumisano) : A reminder that the March Email Inititative covers the first 3 weeks it aims for all messages to arrive before 21/3 which is his debut anniversary. He will be in Saitama on 19/3 and there is no concert that Saturday, so hopefully ANN will be a live broadcast that day.
So write now! If you can write in Japanese, even better!
My message, actually sent out but I am rather confident he won't be reading this but who cares?! Please don't cringe. I think I was more cringe-worthy in the unsent one.
