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!

An explanation on the words on that black t-shirt by Mashamasha;
for the black t-shirt, the front side has 覇志不意虎 横浜 and 旭大橋 赤い流星
覇志不意虎 does not have any literal meaning, just the pronounciation of the 5 kanji characters are similar to Pacifico (覇=Pa, 志=ci, 不=f, 意=i, 虎=co), so adding the words with 横浜= Pacifico Yokohama
旭大橋 is a bridge in Nagasaki, 赤い流星 = Red shooting star, he was called (or he called himself?) red shooting star of 旭大橋 because he liked riding his red color bike in turbo speed on the bridge during his nagasaki days, like a red shooting star
For the back side, it has the title of the daikanshasai and the lyrics of Squall<<< so i am just thinking whether it implies Squall is no 1 in the request ranking, and also 長崎愛歌天使 (not sure it means "An Angel of Love Songs from Nagasaki, or as izumisano said, "An Angel from Nagasaki who loves songs" )

Go straight to bottom of post, you will find the link to vote for the songs you want!
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 19.09.2011
THE OFFICIAL STUFF
THE RUNDOWN
So, Asia Tour, dead. Now back to Daikanshasai which is a surprise for me. As explained by Mashamasha;
actually some even said originally he did not plan to hold daikanshasai this year and intended to use okinawa live as substitute (just like 3939 live in 09 to substitute daikanshasai). When he announced okinawa live in 2010 daikanshasai, he called it as Natsu no Daikanshasai. Fans guessed it means there is none in year end. But then after 311, when he announced the title of okinawa live, it is no longer called "Daikanshasai", which hinted there will be one in year end
Interesting! So what's the content will be like? Something he has never done before, which is something he has been thinking about for some time. As I wrote in ANN/TFM snippets post, he announced in ANN on 17.09.2011 that:-
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.
More explanation by Mashamasha;
He said the no single live idea originated from TFM. He has been talking about no single live for a while in TFM and asked listeners' opinion. Not clearly remember, but sometimes ago he broadcast an album song in TFM and then said he has not sang that song for long time in concert, maybe it will be good to hold a concert singing all songs he has not sang for long time>>then no single live idea comes out. And the listeners wrote to him and said they supported it because there are many songs they haven't listened in concert.
What that means? Because I am confused myself. From what I can understand, it means he can only choose from his own catalogue of songs where;
1. it is from an album
2. not a single
3. not originally released as a single
4. no tie ups, so no CM songs, series song, promo songs
No Beautiful Day. But no Milk Tea? Definitely no Fighting Pose and the likes. Which would make this concert a must go if you can go because you will hear rarely sung concert songs with new arrangements. WOWOW will definitely broadcast the 31st show though. And he will consider fan request by the way, from I suppose the final setlist to be confirmed later.
