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!
Since these few days have been filled with posts about apologies, cancellation, rescheduling and disaster, the following is something somewhat nice to read. The author is unknown, would have wished to know at least a pseudonym but from what I could understand, probably Japanese shop owner (male?)from Hiroshima. I would disagree on the cancellation part since it was last minute but the rest... is rather nice to read.
Originally in Japanese from 2ch forum as follows:-
個人的にとてもいい話を耳にしました。昨日弊社のお店に、福山雅治さんがお見えになったのですが福山さんは とてもお酒に詳しく、なんなら 持ち込みをされるほど大好きな方だそうです。しかし、お茶。まわりの方も全員。この度の大地震。そんな気になれない。そんな場合でもない とのこと。早々に、席を立たれました。裏表がない。聞けば、翌日の広島でのコンサートも、早い段階で公演中止を決められました。タレントとは、そういうものなのかもしれないけど個人的に、なんかすげぇなと思いました。一流の一流たる所以。スタッフからもファンからも愛される、 やさしい心。裏表のない素早い判断力さすがです！！
Then translated by Midori P into Chinese;
我聽到了一個很不錯的事。
昨天福山雅治さん出現在我公司的店裡福山さん對酒很熟悉，可以的話，好像喜歡自己帶酒來的人。但是他點了茶。包括他周遭全部的人。「這麼大的地震，現沒有心情喝酒，也不是應該喝酒的時候｣他這麼說。他很快就離開了。他是表裡如一的人。聽說第二天的廣島演唱會，在很早的時候就已決定要取消舉行。說不定藝人就是這樣的，但對我個人來說，我覺得很不簡單呢！他有一顆善良的心，有著表裡如一、迅速的判斷力，難怪不管是工作人員，還是歌迷都那麼喜愛他。
Translated from Chinese to English from Slyduck of MashaPlus.
I heard about a pretty interesting incident.
Yesterday, Fukuyama Masaharu-san appeared at my company's shop. Fuku-san is very familiar with wine; you could say that he is the kind who likes to bring along his own wine to the shop. However, he ordered tea. So did everyone else. He said that it was such a terrible earthquake, and he neither had the mood to drink alcohol, nor was it the right time to do so. He left soon after. He is someone who is exactly the same person as he appears to be. I heard that he cancelled the following days' Hiroshima concerts very early. Perhaps all artistes are like that, but to me, that's a very commendable deed! He has a kind heart, does not put on a false front and is able to make decisions quickly. No wonder both his colleagues and fans love him so much.
