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!
A very big thanks to Szeying for the above image and the info on the magazine. This is Tokyo Walker dated 23.08.2011 with a one page interview to promote his 27th single. Curious as to what he said? Thanks to Xiaoxin of MashaPlus, finally I can understand what he said!
Fukuyama Masaharu’s first single in 2011: as the name of the song “Let’s be family” suggests, the lyrics are very direct. This is he first song about wedding.
The lyrics of the song are written from a woman’s perspective. Nevertheless it was written from a man’s point of view at the beginning. However I am still unmarried so I wasn’t able to write anything. The deadline was coming soon so I had to try a different way.
If I wrote the song from a man’s point of view, there would be no way for me to “retreat”. My insistence on “lyrics must reflect the truth” was also putting pressure to me. So I thought if I wrote it from a woman’s perspective, at least I had an excuse that it was only my imagination. Perhaps it was like seeing the whole thing from an opposite angle, I ended up writing something quite realistic.
In the lyrics, there is this statement: “ let’s overcome any difficulty together.” This reveals his desire for marriage.
If a woman says this to you, you would feel very happy, right? If she treats you particularly well, biased towards you and tells you “you are more important to me than anyone else”, it would be much better than “you are just my no. 2 or no. 3” (laugh).
For the newly wedded couples who have already grasped their blessings, I hope this song would be played at many wedding receptions.
This song also features another theme – love in the family:
The idealistic family composes of 3 generations: grandpa, grandma, mum, dad and kids. Kids who have upset their parents would run to the grandparents for help. Although the whole extended family doesn’t have to live altogether, it would be nice if they live close by, though.
Translated from Midori's Chinese translation #9792
