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!

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 12.11.2011
Between end of October 2011 until early November 2011 I was in Beijing, China for 9 days. Battling cold, tiredness, sore feet and a sense of immense awe set against the impossible huge, long, wide, foggy place called Beijing, I found some "Fuku" in Wangfujing shopping district. The Fuku is of course a tiny glassy looking round pendant with the word "FUKU" in the middle. In Chinese of course it is FOOK (Cantonese) or FU (Mandarin) which means blessedness, exact meaning of its Japanese counterpart, FUKU, one part of Masha's family name which he loves to display and what nots. My last Fuku giveaway in August 2011 was something personal made by me based on I suppose his favourite font to use for the word FUKU. This time, I am giving away this one Chinese FUKU TOGETHER with one newly received copy of BROS FC Magazine issue #92, the one on Okinawa, amongst others. Of all the FC magazines I have received which I believe is now 4 copies (I think-never counted-will check), this one has the glossiest print due to its colour with good quality paper and some amazing photos, some jumping pictures, some guitar pictures, some obligatory silly Masha pictures and some more. You won't find the complete issue scanned online, unless I have my friend scan it and post it in my Facebook photo album which won't be anytime soon, although you may find some photo snapped version. But nothing feels more real and more "belonging" to a fan of Masha than to hold the BROS FC Magazine and you can get this same Magazine by purchasing it at some auction site or joining the BROS FC, which I will gladly impart my knowledge as to how if you're curious. I encourage you to join the FC even if you don't go to his concerts, etc because there is a sense of "brotherhood", for want of better word.
Anyway, now I am offering you or rather enticing you with that one FC magazine. Who knows, maybe you will join BROS but better join later if you got this one, if not you get the same magazine. By if you do, pay it forward. Entice another!
