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!

[ADD] Thanks to YOUTUBE!! Watch fast! No offense but the PV does not go well with the song. What I mean is it is either single daddy/dead mother/mother absent/special bonding between father and son theme but I felt it was rather depressing and frankly Masha and the kid doesn't come across as father and son; more like uncle and son. It would have been much cheerier to have a mother in it, a family unit you know? But any number of family members is still kazoku so... well where is Fighting Pose PV?! Anyway added screencaps after Read More link.

Added the official Kanji lyrics taken from official site. Not sure if the one previously posted is the same, if not it would mean the English translation and Romaji versions are not accurate.

Not much change (for We're BROS Tour The Live Bang 2011 on 16.04.2011 Mie concert)except there's a NEW SONG, supposedly tied in to a CM for this kekkon website "ZEXY" (wedding related website). The song's name is 家族になろうよ aka Kazoku ni Narou yo, which means "let's make a family" i.e. let's get married. Fans said it's another song from a woman's perspective, apparently he was thinking of the letter written by a bride to her parents on her wedding day?
See the CMs here.I have no comment until I hear the full song and hopefully read the lyrics which is usually one of Masha's strongest point other than the melody. Bookmark this post. As of now, no official release date yet but lucky fans can hear this in the We're BROS tour 2010.
Some very interesting snippet by Mashamasha;
he said he finished writing the melody at very early stage (he received the cm song offer at the beginning of this year), but had difficulty writing the lyrics because he doesn't have that experience. He did think it may be ridiculous for a unmarried man to write a marriage song. He stayed at his secret base to write the song. After 311 (Japan earthquake and tsunami), he once again realised the strength of family bonding because many people answered "Family" when they were asked what support them in this difficult situation. So he decided that the lyrics focuses on family, rather than purely on marriage

Fukuyama Masaharu creates his first wedding song
Singer/actor Fukuyama Masaharu created a new song called “Kazoku ni Narou yo“ (or “Let’s become a Family”), which has been picked up by ‘Zexy‘ as its new CM song. ‘Zexy’ is a Japanese wedding magazine, so it seems to be a perfect choice.
This will be his very first wedding song, and Fukuyama wrote this song with the theme of family in mind. The star was forced to stop his nationwide tour for a month after the March 11th earthquake, and so when he resumed the tour on April 16th in Mie prefecture, he performed “Kazoku ni Naoru yo” for the first time. It’s said that it caused a lot of his female fans to tear up.
Fukuyama commented, “I believe many people started reconsidering about family bonds with this situation, and I wrote about family as its theme. I hope you listen to this song while you think about your loved ones.”
The new CMs for ‘Zexy’ will start airing on the 22nd, and features married couples Uchida Yuya & Kiki Kirin and Hayashiya Pei & Pa-ko. This CM will be the first time for Uchida&Kiki to co-star alongside with each other.
NOTES
By Izumisano
the cool old couple at the end are real-life couple Uchida Yūya (pivotal rock and roll figure in Japan, friend of John Lennon) and Kiki Kirin (no need to introduce as she's the mother in Tokyo Tower) Her young self in the movie was played by her real-life daughter who is also the wife of Motoki Masahiro. If I remember correctly, they met when he was 26 and she 16, he proposed when she was 17 and they got married 2 years later.
according to mashamasha this was the new song he wrote when he was in the 'secret base' he mentioned in ANN the week after the earthquake.

Screencaps taken from HKFC, the theme is father & son, but to me rather depressing with the obvious absence of a mother because it just seems like a reflective moment rather than a celebratory one. And I don't like the lack of intimacy between father and son, meaning cutting of hair, holding hands, etc in this PV seems to suggest they have lost someone and is at the fields reflecting, the single father struggling to raise his son. If there had been a hug, or rather roll on the grassy floor, it would have been a more positive one. For a wedding song, the PV is so unwedding feel. Wouldn't it be great if yes, father and son theme, BUT father getting married with son as the ring bearer thus creating a new family or son getting married, father as a proud guest?
LYRICS
CHINESE
Here at Lovemasha and Sunnydolphin.
ENGLISH
By Halad and Rapere, both of MashaPlus. This is a draft version, based on Chinese translation and checked again Japanese version but still draft.
"Even after a hundred years have passed, please continue to like me"
In front of everyone, making it difficult for you
Even so, you smiled for me
Thank you for choosing me
No matter how much we trust each other
There are some things we can't understand
Because that solitude and need for living intimately ('yorisoi' is an adverb to 'ikiru' so I think it should be 'to live intimately')
might be what it is to love... ('aisuru koto kamo shirenaikara')
Someday, with a wide back like a father
Someday, with the quiet kindess of a mother
let's become a family
that will get by whatever happens
When I was young, my body was weak and easily I would cry
All along I only know how to strive for my own self
[And I didn't know how to be filial]
Tomorrow's "me", even if there is not much difference
I hope to step by step from being someone who is always "given"
slowly become someone who is the "giver"
Someday, with a quiet strength like Grandfather
Someday, with an adorable smile like Grandmother
If it's with you, I can live on
Let's become a pair like that
Someday, with a boy who has your smiling face
Someday, with a girl who is a crybaby like me
let's become a family
that will get by whatever happens

100年たっても好きでいてね
みんなの前で困らせたり
それでも隣で笑ってくれて
選んでくれてありがとう
どれほど深く信じあっても
わからない事もあるでしょう
その孤独と寄り添い生きる事が
愛するという事かもしれないから・・・
いつかお父さん.みたいな大きな背中で
いつかお母さんみたいな静かな優しさで
どんな事も越えてゆける
家族になろうよ
小さな頃は体が弱くて
すぐに泣いて甘えてたの
いつも自分のことばかり精一杯で
親孝行なんてできてないけど
明日の私はそれほど変わらないとしても
一歩づつ与えられる人から
与える人へ変わってゆけたなら・・・
いつかお爺ちゃんみたいに無口な強さで
いつかお婆ちゃんみたいに可愛い笑顔で
あなたとなら生きてゆける
そんな二人になろうよ
いつかあなたの笑顔によく似た男の子と
いつか私と同じ泣き虫な女の子と
どんな事も超えてゆける家族になろうよ
あなたとなら生きてゆける
幸せになろうよ
