NHK songs / New Taiga drama 'Ryomaden'

 

The show was started with Sou new love new world performance. After that, Masha talked about ' Water ' which he was now interested because during his trekking in Sweden on May, he liked to drink water from snow melting. He went to Wasabi farm which the source of water was snow melting from Fuji mountain. Masha tasted that water. The savor was really mild. It might cause from low concentration of minerals.
 

Next part was at whisky brewery which used the same water source of Wasabi farm. Masha tasted 30 years fermented whisky from vat, He started with Single Malt Whiskey followed by blended malts (Multi-distillery malts). Masha tried to mix whisky by himself. After 2 hrs. with trial and error, six mixers was generated and he named them ' Songs '. He described that he liked to drink Whisky but It wasn't useful if he just liked it and then drank. He tried to think about the reasons and found that because of ' Water '. If the water isn't good enough, the Whisky will be low quality.
 


 

At the summer time, He was attracted to Olympic games. He thought that beside the ability, the others that made the success to human was the passion in something you was interested and the spirit in your mind in order to reach to the next steps of your goals→ Higher Stage performance.
 

Back to the Fuji mountain, Masha and staffs went to a cave spring which was natural fountain of water in wasabi farm and whisky brewery. Color of water at the bottom of the spring looked so blue. Masha asked staffs if he could drink the water. The staffs said ' May be ' (Hahaha). He scooped the water and sipped it. The taste was OK, fresh and odorless. Masha also wanted to try the water at the origin of spring if he had a long tube that could be stab to that part.
 


 

Masha said that he then emphasized on nature such as water which was the origin of life because he got old every day. Next year, he will be 40 years old. It made him more thinking of his hometown.


He usually backed to his home when he had some tasks or it was festival time. Nowadays, as soon as he has enough times, he wants to back to his hometown. He usually thinks of something that he can't find in Tokyo. When he leaved from Nagasaki, he thought nothing in his hometown was interested in. At the present, He wants to eat Champon which is available only on his city. He thinks of his old friends very much. Masha said that luckily, he still had some people that he could call them as 'friends' in his hometown so, he wanted to send his remembrances to his friends through his new song.→ Ashita no show performance.
 

 

 

I've just finished to translate the NHK songs show. I'll add the vedio file later.


 I saw this news on Tokyograph.

Thu, November 6, 2008 (3:24am EST)
In June, NHK revealed that its 2010 taiga drama will be "Ryomaden," based on the life of the historical figure Sakamoto Ryoma. The lead actor has now been unveiled, and it is none other than actor/singer Masaharu Fukuyama, who has never before appeared in an NHK series.

The supporting cast has still not been publicly announced. NHK plans to start filming in August 2009, and "Ryomaden" will start its broadcast run in January 2010.

Romaji

Kimi wo taisetsu ni omoeba omou hodo
Shite agetai koto bakari fuete
Boku wo wakatte moraeru you ni
Kondo wa boku no suki na basho e tsureteku yo
 

Sukoshizutsu demo futari wa chikazuite ikeru you ni
Kimi no koto wo hanashite hoshii yo
Mada shiranai koto bakari dakara
 

Tada ate mo naku tada shizukesa ga hirogaru
Mada kimi no koto kyou mo hitorijime dekizu ni
 

Ano kado handoru kireba konya wa…oyasumi
 

Betsu ni eiga ja nakutemo yokatta
Kimi to issho ni ireru no nara
Yoru no kouen de komedian mane shite
Kimi ga juusu wo kobosu hodo warawaseta kedo
 

Kaeri no michi kuruma no joshuseki mado no soto miteru kimi ni
Tsutaekirenai mama shingou wa mata ao ni kawaru
 

Tada wake mo naku tada jikan dake sugiteku
Mada kimi no koto kyou mo hitorijime dekizu ni
 

Kuroi paakaa no fuudo ga yureteru…kimi ga tooi
 

Tada wake mo naku tada jikan dake sugiteku
Tada kimi dake wo ima boku wa motomete iru
 

Ano kado handoru kireba konya wa…oyasumi
 

English translation

The more you mean to me
The more I want to do for you
This time I’m going to take you to my favourite place
So you can understand me more
 

I hope we can get closer, even if it just happens little by little
I want you to tell me about yourself
Because there’s so much I don’t know
 

The silence just spreads out aimlessly
Today, once again, I can’t have you to myself
 

At the corner I flip the door handle, and for tonight…it’s goodnight
 

I don’t really mind not going to a movie
If I can be with you
In the park at night, you mimicked a comedian
And made me laugh so hard I spilt my juice
 

On the way home, you sit in the passenger’s seat looking put the window
The lights go green again before I can tell you
 

The time just passes by for no reason
Today, once again, I can’t have you to myself
 

I see the hood of your black parka fluttering…you’re far away
 

The time just passes by for no reason
Now I just long for you, only you
 

At the corner I flip the door handle, and for tonight…it’s goodnight

Music Staion 31/10/08 : HIGHER STAGE Live





HIGHER STAGE performance !!!
Oh! I love this song very much. Glad to see Masha sang it on MS.








On music station, Beyonce was impressed by Masha.
He was surprised when she touched his shoulder and praised him.
According to MS blog, She liked Masha performance.
so, she asked to shake his hand again after ending of the show.


Someone on HK fans site said that on another TV program, Beyonce saw KOH+
on the cover of oricon style magazine in VTR. She recognised Masha and said ' I like Fukuyama! '


P/S Jpopmusic forum is back! I'll try to update Masha's news on that site and this blog ^^b


Hahaha...> < Beyonce said in this clip ' I like Fukuyama '

SP Drama : The Naminori Restaurant





Masha will appear as a guest on NTV SP drama called ' The Naminori Restaurant ' comprised of a series of 33 short dramas based on songs by Southern All Stars. It's a collaborative project of Southern 30th x NTV 55th x Amuse 30th anniversary.

 
Masha played as Keisuke, a man who will marry with his girlfriend starred by Fukatsu Eri but the relationship between them seem to have problems. They don't understand each other. Theme song of this episode is Chikasaki ni se wo mukete. It's the song that SAS wrote before their debute in year 1978.

 
This drama will be aired on Nov 9th for 1 hr. which is the last episode of this SP project.

Another news about drama, Masha was offered to play in NHK Tiga drama. It's a story about Sakamoto Ryoma, a leader of the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa bakufu during the Bakumatsu period in Japan. It's not confirmed yet whether he will play or not but I personally don't want him to participate in this project. Because this character isn't fit to him; he's too old to be Ryoma (died at age 33 years) and another reason is high pressure for him again due to the strong rating of Tiga drama 'Atsuhime' in this year. (28%)


http://www.walkerplus.com/movie/ranking/hit.html
Talking about the ranking, Yougisha X no Kenshin is still on the top of Japanese box office for the 4th week with more than 3 billion yen since 26 days release and Let's see what happens with oricon chart today.....

CM : TOSHIBA REGZA ; X CROSS DIGITAL




New version of TOSHIBA on Youtube (Masha in black outfit *O*   *drool*)
 

According to this news, TOSHIBA selected Masha as a presenter because he is the images of muti-talent, creative, knowledge and thoroughness that matches for the brand. 

 

TOSHIBA hope to expand market share in women age 20 years up and another reason, as a result from a survey of buying, housewife seems to have buying power than the husband. So, Fukuyama who's popular in Japanese ladies may support customer activation for buying.

 

Another news of Yougisha X no Kenshin, It's still on the top of Box office for the 3rd week. In the 16 days since its release, it has earned about 2.4 billion yen, with 1.8 million fans having seen the film. (It's less than HERO and Hana Yori Dango Final but I think it's still OK for a kind of drama movie.)

I think this PV is OK. At least, it seems to be the most beautiful PV of him. (Becuase many of his PVs suck!) He looks so HOT! and Kakuii~ in both black and white outfit! The song itself is cool and funny. He wanted to combine analog and digital sounds together.

Imagine~new love new world~

English translation by T-Klang

 

It’s the beginning of infinite possibilities when two intelligences and two instinct tie together.
When two fates and two blood mix together, the ultimate pleasure begins.
 

The truth of the basic of all lives (/ shapes) has kept this planet together.
On a genetic level, at the atomic level, the key to evolution is LOVE.
 

Will you take me to the most beautiful place, the world that does not exist?
To the end of pleasure at the other side.
Our new souls will overcome any theoretic Love.
This is the time to start the journey.
The destination is only one. Imagine
 

Full freedom begins when all orders and all chaos melt together.
With the river of passion and the sea of desire, let’s concrete this impulse.
In this planet, we are just a pair of animals.
 

Have no fear, as it was permitted to be crazy,
Let’s go to the top at the other side.
Naked new souls have been liberated from any calculated plans.
It's time for awakening.
At the time to go, we will be together. Imagine.
 

Will you take me to the most beautiful place, the world that does not exist?
To the far end of pleasure.
Our new love will overcome any theoretic Love.
This is the time to start the journey.
The destination is only one. Imagine. Imagine.
