Not sure what is the request song. Fighting Pose? Anyway some snippets by Mashamasha;


he went to okinawa for work this week (probably CM shooting). he need to get up at 6am for the shooting so he went to sleep very early in the previous night.  He said maybe because of jet lag (back from LA) or because he slept too much in the plane to okinawa, he woke up suddenly at midnight and then cannot sleep again. He tried many methods to help himself fall asleep: open the window to have the outdoor sound coming in as background music to relax, move to sleep on sofa etc. Unfortunately all did not work. he also talked about GREE cm but i am very confused by what he said   he said writing theme song for pirate king game is the story of the CM only, it doesn't mean he really helps the game to write the theme song (吓?), though he cannot tell whether he will really write a song for GREE in the future. So anyway...at this moment, writing theme song is CM story only. And the next round of GREE cm will have him drawing game characters for pirate king game. So we can have chance to appreciate his great drawing again. Best legs..... masha said his choice is Beyonce because he does not like too slim legs

More snippets, on the GREE cms by Mashamasha;


it seems the "characters" are designed by masha (at first i thought he followed the cards to draw), and then GREE uses his design and created the "improved" versions


F: Totally I have drawn about 5 pictures, with a wide variety. I drew some strong characters and also some weak characters. For the strong ones, I used some strong marine creatures in my mind as motif. Just like 幪面超人used grasshopper as motif  (how dare he compare his drawing with 幪面超人?!). I combined human being with those strong marine creatures. 


S: Did they carry weapons?


F: About the weapon, I leave it to the professionals to design, because i don't have the knowledge

he said he is now getting worried about no single live. He is worried the audience will leave one by one during the concert. Even this happens, he will keep singing on the stage, though he will change the rundown for the remaining shows.He said he can sing others' songs without lyrics on hand, but when singing his own songs in the concert, he needs to cross check the monitor to confirm the lyrics.

He spent 2

Full file can be found in Post #485 page 33. Request song was Tokyo nimo attanda. Some interesting snippets and I didn't even know, by Mashamasha;

He spent 2 nights and 4 days in LA this week (I think she meant 4 days 3 nights). ANN first class, planned to watch movie in the plane but was just so tired that he slept during almost the whole flight. In the return journey, he woke up just 2 hours before arrival and felt very hungry, so he ordered curry udon to eat and drunk champagne. after he said this, sou-chan asked him a question on behalf of all those who haven't had first class flying experience "Did you mean first class passengers can choose their own meal time and eat at any time they want?" Masha replied "Yes, we can. It is unlike economy class in which the flight atendant will call at scheduled time "Wake up everybody, it's time for meal!!" "Sou-chan asked him why he went to LA. Masha said he went there for plastic surgery. We would soon notice that he has bigger eyes, bigger breast, and some part is taken out from his body. Daikanshasai 2011 request forms is over 40,000 entries.

By Angelreii;

He came back from LA after filming CM. Sou chan said he was surprise coz did not even know that Masha was in LA.

Wow. Ninja moves. Never knew, at all.

Also by Mashamasha;

listener asked what he always carries with him for journey. He named a few: adhesive tape to seal the lids of shampoo bottle, wine bottle, mini screwdriver in case his glasses' screw gets loose, nail clippers, needle and thread for fixing clothing button, body exercise equipments. He also said he uses RIMOWA for more than 15 years. And he oftens brings worn-out underpants with holes to journey so he can just dispose there and doesn't need to bring them back.

Masha is wearing a black jacket

By Mashamasha;

he revealed how and in what situation he created the melody of some of his songs. Good Night's chorus part came out when he was in toilet and the deadline was approaching. 

Again by Angelreii;

Beautiful Day was while he was riding


 やべ、南極大陸だったいい間違えた。BY福山
Masha tweet he made a mistake with the Antarctic continent. It should be Antarctica.

Again by Mashamasha;

About the tweet, he was referring to the title of Kimura Takuya's new drama. When he broadcast Nakayama Miyuki 's song (she will be the guest of ann next week!!), he said it is the theme song of the drama 南極物語, but the correct title is 南極大陸. He then apologized and corrected it (though he added it was the script writer who made the mistake in the script)

This is the 600th show anniversary special although the unofficial one as the official one was.. can't remember, a week ago? 2 weeks ago? I believe I mentioned it in my previous post somewhere in here. And Mashamasha says;

600th anniversary presents to listeners, masha bought underwear

Say what?! See here.

And thanks to Angelreii for the translation;

Masha just tweet:
クリスマスもエロ下着ですよ！お前らBy福山
(It is also erotic Christmas underwear!)

He is obsessed I tell you! Obsessed! Did he really buy all those... I am lost for words.

More snippets thanks to Mashamasha;

btw, last night masha talked about the CG effect in wowow live circuit. He said he watched hey hey hey which showed one akb48's live event, and that live used CG effect to make fans' real time online message flying out from the LED wall. He thought it is very funny and so he told wowow sp live director and discussed the possibililty of using CG effect in the wowow sp live. and he said among all the mini live, he was most worried with the first one (i.e. the morning one) because he rarely sings at such early day. He woke up at 6am to have voice training.

Snippets by Mashamasha;

he said album songs with tie-up are ok

Which means he definitely has some songs he wants to sing from those tie ups!

More on the whole setlist for Daikanshasai 2011 by Vspirt;

the votes are actually not going to be factored into the setlist. he's already said loud and clear and quite repetitively that he already has a pretty good idea of what he wants to do and he's going to go with that. the whole send-in-your-request thing is not actually a request thing but more a...data collection thing? he'll use it as a reference of sorts and find out what kind of non-popular songs are actually more popular than was let on.

Some snippets thanks to Izumisano:-

It's their 600th Tamaraji broadcast tonight! 

600th?!

And more by Mashamasha:-

masha said katsuko (his mom) recently sent him a movie clip which was taken in his cousin's wedding party and they sang Kazoku in the party. 

Is Fukuyama Mama trying to tell Masha something? Like use your own song for your own wedding perhaps?

And something about Kamasutra. Why is it the part I wish I know more is always the part I never will know? Why?

More snippets by Mashamasha;

next week sou-chan on leave, so they postpone the 600th celebration to next next week, and masha asked when it's his turn to take leave and sou-chan said no, you cannot take leave

And some more snippets by Mashamasha;


ANN last week was pre-recorded, and probably the coming one will also be recorded due to wowow special live, jp fans guess it is the real reason they postpone the celebration to next week as they want to have it at a live broadcasting night. They guess maybe sou-chan's work/holiday schedule does not fit with masha's schedule to have the recording together so he need to be absent. And it seems another ANN announcer (the one appeared in 24 hours radio) will substitue sou-chan


 the listener suggested them to broadcast older album songs in ANN to let fans get familiar with those songs, and masha replied "Yup, it is a great idea......but......would you also please consider buying the CDs by yourselves?"

Big announcement tonight, which everyone knows but still huge. Masha will be holding 5 shows aka Daikanshasai on 24, 25, 28, 30 and 31 Dec 2011 at Yokohama Pacifico. So yes, damn be the Asia Tour 2011 since I can't imagine him running around in December. Maybe 2013. Anyway, some great snippets on the nature of this daikanshasai. He has been toying with the idea of a No Singles concert. Frankly I have no idea what it means. Will this include the cover album he made? Great thing is he will accept fans request when making up the setlist. Forms are being drawn to give to fans to make their request.

Anyway more snippets by Mashamasha;

Daikanshasai 2011 announced aka no single live (he was talking about this for some time). he said he will not sing any songs from singles in the daikanshasai. he said he is worried that the audience are not familiar with his album songs and when he plays the intro, they will all look like "what is this song???" and it will turn out to be a quiz (the audience need to think out the song title ) And he joked maybe on the first day he sings no songs from single, but then find that the live atmosphere is too bad that he has to add hit songs to later shows, and then on 31 Dec all songs are from singles. 

Interesting! Which means he may sing my most favourite song and also Beautiful Day and I won't be there!!!

Excited?

Great snippets, all by Mashamasha.


Masha talked about 911 in the opening and said on that day 10 years ago, he was packing luggage at home for his trip to NY when he watched the news on TV. Originally he was going to NY on the following day to attend a photo exhibition there. He was invited to attend by a photographer Elliott Erwitt (Elliott is a US photographer and he was very impressed by masha's photo and had collaboration work with masha years ago)


I wonder which collaboration? Anyone knows?

The most recent emails received from family are from katsuko, his uncle (katsuko's brother) and masha's brother after okinawa concert. Imanami said he was standing behind katsuko and masha's brother during sunday's concert and felt very touched looking at katsuko watching her son's concert<<< masha joked imanami treated himself as his girlfriend


I always wondered whether his mom and brother ever saw him in concert and this answers my question. I wonder where they stood, did the fans notice, etc. I wonder how his mother felt with his squeeze squeeze routine and whether his nieces and nephew (s) ever watch him in concert as well?

Masha said he did not have much happy memory when he was in nagasaki, except the time spent with his grandmothers. Again he talked about why he loved his grandmothers so much. Talking about grandfather, he said he did not like him very much because he always got angry with masha, and was very mean, only gave him 500 yen red pocket money


He is beginning to sound like me! 500 yen ONLY? It does seem he have very low opinion of the men in his family except his own brother.

btw, masha talked about mikan grandmother (i.e. katsuko's mother) more often than paternal one. But he said he loved both grandmothers. Sometimes ago he talked about his paternal grandmother and said they lived together. She had problem at walking so she need to lie on the bed most of the time. Because he was worried she would have bedsores, he woke up at midnight to help her change her sleeping position. But after a few seconds, she would return to her original position. After meals, he carried her on his back to take her to bedroom, and she often fart on his back (btw, in 98 daikanshasai?, he showed a picture he was carrying her on his back when visiting grave, the picture was taken by katsuko)

Very touching isn't it? I wonder do I have that 98 daikanshasai? The picture? Curious! He's a good kid by the way. I think both sets of grandparents are dead.




Request song is Nada sou sou (thanks Thitirat for the info), old Okinawa song. Thanks to thitirat again who said he sang this song before on 24.09.2005 on ANN, which you can hear at youtube. For current version, check this link out. FOR A FULL RECAP, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Some snippets;

they are talking about NHK news's "promotion" of the single [Mashamasha] Yes NHK prime time news I believe at 9pm, can't remember which date reported on the 27th single! Even Masha is shocked eh? he had his one and only one day summer holiday after okinawa concert. He and the managers went to a beach there to skinny dip (i.e. mini station interview part). He had did this years ago and enjoyed it very much, so this time he "forced" his managers to do the same. But they did not have skinny dip together, one followed by another one [Mashamasha] Which necessitates Masha having male managers. Force eh? he arrived okinawa on last wed and immediate had urgent meeting with amuse people, stage director and organizer to discuss whether they need to cancel the concert due to the typhoon. They need to make the decision before thur noon because he had appearance on FM okinawa on thur and if they decided to cancel, he need to announce it. They planned to have replacement show next year if the concert had to be cancelled [Mashamasha] the listener (to win the Fukuyama Regza TV set I think) need to play Stone/scissors ... (I give up! can't remember!) with 3 people, including Masha to win the white color regza, but so far no listeners can defeat one of the 3 (not Masha), so masha had no chance to play. he complained sou-chan was very bad, sou-chan cheered when he defeated the listeners, and sou-chan himself admitted he should not have this reaction [Mashamasha]

AND more snippets transcribed by Irene, thanks very much to Irene!


I, FM, 42 took first place in Oricon ranking with my new single "Kazoku". Congratulations & Thank you!


Everyone please give it "heavy rotation!"


Its not ok to "tie-up" promotions with NHK. He didn't know anything about the NHK promotion of his new single. - I wonder, was he not pleased with the free promo?


Beach Masha visited in Okinawa was just an isolated spot - not a "nudist beach" - must be very isolated that fans can't find it, or maybe very exclusively isolated


Talk about how he was able to find an isolated beach to enjoy with 30,000+ fans on the same island.


They all dove into water one after another in a line - Is entire Team Fukuyama men only or women also included?


Masha has experience with this sort of thing (skinny dipping) - Yes he did, which inspired him to write Ano Natsu mo Umi mo Sora mo if I remember correctly!


All members of Team Fukuyama decided together to spend their one day of holiday at the beach.


During Ryoma period women didn't go swimming? Discussion about swimming outfits in the "Ryoma Bakumatsu" period (late 1800's).


A team member egged him on to skinny dip. 


The waves were very strong because the typhoons were near.


The beach wasn't actually a public beach, it was a place they were introduced to by a local special tour guide (along with hot spots, etc.).


They bought a soccer ball and other things to play with at the beach at a convenience store - while naked?!


Ms. Kuroki is a native of Okinawa. She lived there until she was 15 (mentioned on MS)


Talking about the crane thing he rode around in during the concert. It moved around a lot. They used it because the concert site was flat and it would be inconsiderate for the fans out back who can't see well.


Discussion about big or small body size as displayed in the concert. His opinion about big or small changes like the seasons. Masha encouraging women to not worry if they  wear a bikini.


Many writers about Okinawa Live who attended in person or who watched on WowWow. 


Acknowledging that lots of Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong visitors attended Okinawa Live!! 


Thought it was good promotion for Okinawa due to the pretty setting of the stadium with it's ocean view, etc.


They planned to start out the Live with uptempo but they may have started with a different line up including a lot of bass play. They expected a lot of first-timers so they chose the line up according to that thought. Some of the audience waited a long time outdoors and some were rained on. Talk about wearing a blazer. 


Lots of letters today and most aren't discussing anything of interest.


Now discussing baseball batting centers....comparing the sound the balls make - they sound like golf balls. Masha knows about everything doesn't he!


A listener wants to start his own distillery/cellar after college, and Masha is encouraging him. 


Now talking about hampsters....someone has 100 hampsters?


The bell is ringing, now time for Regza give-away.


Now phoning a listener. Kyoto 2 year High School student. She's giggling. Now playing paper/rock/sissors with the listener. She lost. Now phoning Keiko in North Kyushu to a 30 year old woman. So did a 14 year old, Tokyo 27 year old man, Miyazaki 39 year old woman. They all lost. 
Masha saying sorry! They get their pictures put on a home page?


Now discussing his participation in Fukushima Live. Next week is the half-year anniversary of 3/11 (9/11!)


Oh! Final listener won the 3D pearl white Regza - 19 year old girl! Telling her it will fit in her own room because it's not big.



Should be Kid's Week. No snippets since everyone was busy with Okinawa concert.
