<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
I am reviving this blog with one very important announcement for fans who live outside of Japan and who has had to use agents or beg friends to help with joining the BROS fanclub. Now you don't have to because as at 1st April 2013 (no April Fools joke here!), there is actually a BROS + which is Masha's World Fanclub, What is it about you ask?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
you get to join one of the awesomest fanclub in the world for one of the awesomest if not the awesomest one man celebrity/talent/actor/musician/DJ/handsome dude, that is the never aging always awesome Fukuyama Masaharu aka Masha aka soon to me actor's actor if the reports I have read is of any indication. Maybe even in a potentially Best Foreign Picture Oscar nominee or winner.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you even need any other reason?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway to know more, read on!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>WHO CAN REGISTER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. If you live out of Japan</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. You must not already be a member of BROS (or at least not let them catch you at it so maybe use your real name this one?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>WHERE TO REGISTER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here at the <a href="http://www.fukuyama-brosplus.com/">OFFICIAL BROS + website</a>. Just scroll to the bottom and guess what? Everything is in English! Yeah!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HOW TO REGISTER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. click REGISTER at the bottom of the page where you will see a smouldering looking Masha probably thinking "I am a supermodel and I am hot"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. scroll again to the bottom and again click REGISTER</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. At the bottom fill in your valid and proper email address, like at Gmail, hotmail, etc. This is basically your identity. You can change your email later on when registered but why not just settle for the definite one here for now? Once filled in, click CONFIRM</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. And thereafter an email will be sent to that email. Open your email, there is a link in there. Click it to then fill in your REAL NAME, REAL BIRTH DATE, REAL everything and click submit or whatever the button is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Next is to pay. You can only pay by Credit Card. Here is a bit difficult. I tried using Big Card (Visa Debit Card aka Tune Money card) but got rejected. I use my proper Credit Card that is Mastercard where I will need to confirm the verification number I receive on my handphone, and then and only then I could complete my payment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now what if you don't see the verification page and you don't have any and still got rejected?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just click cancel your application. Don't worry, you can try again the same email again until you actually paid up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, early next morning when bank is open, quickly call your credit card issuing bank and give them your handphone number for verification purposes, wait 24 to 48 hours when confirmed, try registering again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HOW MUCH IS THE FEE?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4000 yen which is about RM120-00 or less. And that's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>WHAT DO YOU GET?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well let's try what you won't get. For one, the physical stuff like member card, members only freee gift, members only special stuff like new year greetings card, those BROS fanclub magazines. Yes I know, bummer. But then the registration never asked for my address at all!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now what do you get? Full access to BROS + website which is a copy of the BROS website, right down to the Japanese only language. Again what a bummer! Oh come on BROS! Can't you get at least ONE translator to translate the all important messages and entries by Masha? Anyway you will also get digital newsletter and the good news, to participate in some chosen concert ballot and buy some exclusive goodies. You can see the latest members magazine once you log in, just remember to flip the pages using your mouse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am afraid BROS + may not be the best fanclub in the world but you know, it took Masha like more than 20 years to reach this bloody stage. This is a good sign. Right now the membership number is still below 400 so it is small but I am sure once it gets to thousands and more, maybe Masha may be persuaded to put more effort in BROS+ like getting a proper translator.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what are you waiting for? 4000 yen is a lot I know for so little but it is a good start! Join now and let us all BROS+ unite and show those BROS that BROS+ is worth getting some love and attention (like at the least a proper English content stuff). I am very eager to see how those concert tickets ballot work out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just don't get the cheek of them to ask us to use Google translator. That is to me the worst aspect of this otherwise wonderful news.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I may even make a badge, like BROS+Msia! Oh yes I will! Stay tuned!<br />
<br />
<b>See you when you are a member of the new chic club, BROS+. </b></div>

</center><span style="text-align: justify;">I know I haven't been updating frequently for quite some time and so here is another giveaway! This time it is the BROS magazine issue #93 which is the latest as at the date of posting together with the 2012 New Year card sent from BROS to ... all BROS members! Let's talk about the magazine first; rather special this one as it has tons of nice pictures of the Daikanshasai No Single Live 2011 plus a summary of the 2011 We're BROS Tour and some cute stuff. In fact this is concert jam packed issue with loads of commentaries which unfortunately I don't know how to read. Some sample pictures;</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Masha looks good in pink!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then there's the new year card. Every year there's a new year card. Last year's was nice, but this year is even nicer, and rather cute. It is a postcard, with loads of images of Masha holding a message of that 2 words in Kanji (in Chinese it means Big Celebration/Big Good News) which some speculates refers to the name of the pet of <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2010/04/about-masha-marriage-or-rumour-of.html">rumoured girlfriend</a>! I shall say pure coincidence!! Front and back picture. At the back I had to tear off the sticker with my name on it, but it isn't so bad! <br />

This is epic! I didn't know until I read the forum carefully. For one, this CM was filmed in Utah, presenting a very rugged feel. And it was directed by the man's man himself, Michael Bay! Don't expect Optimus Prime or Bumblebee to make an appearance but man, I was shocked! Apparently it will be a 90 seconds version, so the 30 seconds version is considered a trailer. A trailer for a CM? Another epic. And an epic fail for me because seriously, I really didn't know! No wonder Masha flew on private jets, and got all excited. I wonder how Michael Bay directed Masha? "Mr Fukuyama, when the explosions go off on left, right, front and back, remember, strut your catwalk style, strum that guitar like you strum your girl and stand by that edge, further, FURTHER".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Probably.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some snippets by Mashamasha who says there will be an interview with Michael Bay later on;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>In the interview Michael Bay said he realised fukuyama is a top star at the first sight when they met.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That is an understatement. Tell me, which company will spend so much hiring a world famous director and flew the main guy in a private jet to such a far off location if the main star isn't famous?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Michael said masha is top star and is really kakkoii. He said Utah was cold when they had the cm shooting, but masha was still able to act like he feels very hot in order to fit with the cm theme. And he joked he already considered a role for him to play in Transformer 4, a man trampled by Optimus Prime.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Masha's debut in Hollywood; the man who got squashed by Optimus Prime.<br />
<br />
Hmmm... I wonder how much Michael Bay is paid to do this? Rumour has it Masha himself is paid "<i>7000万 (70,000,000 yen) , roughly 908,926 USD and 7 million HKD</i>" to appear in Asahi CMs [MashaPlus] and frankly compared to USD20 million or whatever for Nicole Kidman in Chanel or whatever, Masha is cheap.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

All the latest rumour of him planning a July wedding with Manami Konishi after Read More link as they're too long! <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">The news is fake. Manami Konishi has denied it. </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Depending on which report you read, some went as far as to say Manami Konishi denied ever dating Masha. </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Amuse has denied it. One co-star denied it and even said Masha denied it. Mother of Manami Konishi slammed the door on the reporters and now even Masha's mother reportedly denied everything. And since Masha is not in Japan but with the rare action of Amuse actually issuing a denial, you can safely say everybody, and I mean absolutely everybody who is now a spokesperson for Masha denies everything. I swear at the time of posting this on 11.11.2010 at 11.21AM Malaysian time, it is a true fact. Can't guarantee that for entire year. Well, do get ready though. He is of marriageable age. </span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 28.04.2010</span></b></div><br />
I was doing "spring cleaning" for my website when I checked out fans forum and guess what I read? Marriage rumours! And guess who's the bride? Well, I have seen her before. Those familiar with her will know but I am not but I remember seeing her pictured with Masha before some years back and even then there were rumours. Read all about it after Read More link. <i>ANYWAY don't cry yet! Still a rumour/gossip</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">THE REPORT</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.zassi.net/mag_index.php?id=51">Here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">THE TRANSLATION</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By River and Izumisano</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, according to the tabloid magazine, it's back to Minami Konishi. Seems like Masha went drinking with friends and he talks to Koni-chan on the phone. Apparently the relationship is stable even though they rarely met. During the last dinner, when Masha had to leave early. Someone asked if he was going on a date and he said yes.</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><b>THE SETUP</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apparently there is always someone marrying every year after filming Taiga series and so this year it has to be Masha. Izumisano found some pro and counter arguments (even the Japanese tabloid can't agree!) and translated from <a href="http://www.menscyzo.com/2010/04/post_1196.html">here</a> ("<i>according to a regular at the bar who overheard them</i>") as follows:-</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">We have other reporters arguing against the validity of the rumour, that it is nothing but publicity for both parties...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* First para repeats the original report about "Koni-chan" and extends the rumour to marriage within the year. It talks about the intense race for a scoop on Masha etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Then, the normal intro on Masha (good looks, ero talk etc.), rumours surfaced in Autumn 2006, talks of them viewing property together in 2008 and how everyone generally thinks they've broken up already.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Next para is a quote from an entertainment reporter - FM well known for his guard. Previous rumours have come to nothing, no definitive evidence, mgt company usual denial, gay rumour well established, rumours of Konishi Manami dating other people, Fukuyama well-known for his requirements on good looks and a conservative personality, which do not match with Konishi </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Another quote from a fashion magazine writer which basically serves to bad-mouth her</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Next part says they'd both separately said in previous interviews that they wanted to get married. So if they'd been dating for 4 years, then it could be true?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Finally quotes the same entertainment reporter above - he questions the assumption that they were dating in the first place. He believes it's all for publicity because of the recent drop in ratings of Ryomaden (izumi: and this will help???) While she's got 2 movies upcoming in July and Autumn, etc. etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So the conclusion here is they're just making use of recycled old talk.</div></blockquote><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><b>THE NEWS' REACTION</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from the above, some reaction by the news as translated by Mashamasha from HK Fans Discussion Forums.</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">several entertainment reporters discuss the recent rumours in a tv program. About masha's one, they said they have followed this since the rumour came out several years ago, they can't find anything to prove the rumour is true. So they believe that this rumour is fake, just someone spread it through internet. They also added that there's rumour that masha and the girl went to travel overseas together years ago, and after their research, they find that actually they had been to different places...</div></blockquote><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">WHO IS SHE AGAIN?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you're familiar with Japanese series, you will probably know her. I don't so I went in search and found her looking very familiar but with different name, or slightly different name until I realise perhaps the forum got the spelling wrong a bit. So let's assume it is her, I am 99% sure we are talking about the same girl here...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Name</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Manami Konishi</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Age</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1978, so so young as in 32 years which in retrospect isn't very young but from the pictures she looks rather youthful.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>More info about her</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manami_Konishi">Here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Picture</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img src="http://i31.tinypic.com/f3wfie.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Verdict</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not a bad choice. If this IS the same person we are talking about, she has a cute and youthful face and a killer body. Masha certainly has good taste in girls. But again rumoured to have dated 4 years and not one single picture of them at least 1 feet apart? Ok there is one, the one I was telling you but not one of them looking lovey-dovey? Maybe he will pull a Jang Donggun, and I will be singing Tracks Of My Tears the whole year long! But seriously, she looks lovely. I just hope I won't chance upon her "sexy" pictorials. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>DID YOU KNOW?</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn't, since I haven't got into the discussion yet but he was rumoured to marry <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miho_Shiraishi">Miho Shirashi</a> one year ago in 2009. Just based purely on looks and first impression, I think I like the now rumoured wife to be a whole lot more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>THAT PICTURE</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had to comb through my entire collection and I looked and looked and looked and... FOUND IT! I thought she looked familiar when I was googling her name (albeit slightly different spelling). I think this is the same girl, from the file name, I suppose this was in 2006? Exactly 4 years ago? I am very bad at recognising people. I thought all along she was a staff but now...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://img230.imageshack.us/i/0614uq7.jpg/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9278/0614uq7.th.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Body language wise, if they were dating then, I doubt it. So let's put them together now, next to each other. If it is near marriage, I am sure you can see the closeness or at least some of it. Anyway the body language in the picture below is more evident. I have a sneaking feeling...I don't need to spell it out. If they're not together now, I just have this feeling the attraction is mutual ... 2 photos together...wow...they do look good together...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway at this stage and until he actually marries or give announcement of it (which he will through his radio shows) by 31st December 2010, it is still a rumour or rather a gossip at this point. Face the facts; he will get married some day, have children some day, retire some day. Question is WHO, HOW MANY & WHEN, respectively.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The translation is from <a href="http://andwewonder.blogspot.com/2010/05/fukuyama-masaharu-and-konishi-manami.html">here</a> whilst the original report is from <a href="http://entameblog.seesaa.net/article/147969319.html">here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">It has been rumoured that actor Fukuyama Masaharu (41) and actress Konishi Manami (31) are an item after patrons who were in the same bar as them at Meguro-ku, Tokyo, heard Fukuyama confessing to Konishi saying that "I feel great.". Before that, Fukuyama had been listening very intently to Konish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Though this conversation has not been confirmed by any photos, the rumours that the two were together are true.</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Looking at the original article and using online translator, some salient points of this new rumour ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">1. he was unusually drunk</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. usually he drinks by the corner surrounded by (let me get this...) LARGE MEN (woahhhhh)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. but that day his attention was all on his lady friend</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. something about saying "I feel great", rather coyly said if the translator is to be believed</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. the best part? I am not sure how this part got into the conversation but the translator translated certain words as "Mr. Fukuyama was devoted to the listener and containing penetration speech".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The title of the article was something along the line MADLY IN LOVE!</div></blockquote><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>[Earlier]</b> My hands is shaking as I type this; not from disgust but from shock because this came out of nowhere. <a href="http://woman.infoseek.co.jp/news/entertainment/story.html?q=menscyzo_03Nov2010_5672">This news site </a>says Masha is planning to wed Manami Konishi next year or is it he has already married her in May?. From my basic understanding, the invitations has been sent out in October, they wanted May wedding but due to the concert tour it has been pushed to July 2011. The article did say something about him purchasing a high rise apartment and she commuting there as a wife. Also said venue will be changed if leaked to the media. Look, Masha ain't that naive. If he wants a ceremony he can't hide it. So either he will marry quietly as in just register or he tells the world and just let them see. I don't see how he can hide such a ceremony. He is just too famous. Now... now... he is not in Japan, this was to my understanding not confirmed (nor denied) by either party's rep and so I suppose when Masha is back in ANN and if he starts the program by saying "I am getting married" then you know it is true. The article is being translated but before you cry tears of joy or shock or sadness, I did speculate if he is seeing anyone it will be this actress and if he is to marry anyone, who better than a dimpled cute woman? Their children will be very cute! However just let me sit down in shock first. My hands are still trembling but no I am not crying. I am just quite simply ... well... shocked. Feeling rather ambushed by this sudden "confirmation" with "arrangements" and all. You know what I mean? I do want to say one thing though. I believe they're dating, I believe they will marry. Why? They have been consistently linked together and yet not one word of denial not just from Masha but also from Manami Konishi. Which means whatever not denied must in the end when repeated many times is true. Fans are speculating maybe she is getting married but not to him. I mean how difficult it is to check if she is dating and marrying anyone? I tell you...oh never mind!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Normally, if they report something, the artists' reps will confirm or denied or put up a standard disclaimer: That's none of our business. It's too bad Masha is not in the country, unless someone can retrieve him from the deep Amazon jungle, we will not get a confirmation from him. Poor Koni-chan, she's facing this alone at the moment.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Konishi Manami denied the marriage rumour with Fukuyama Masaharu. </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Actress Konishi Manami was reported in Josei Seven magazine of her impending marriage with Fukuyama Masaharu. Reporters rushed to the venue of the place of her new movie promotion to get further details. At the event, she said 'I wish there's something to celebrate, but that report is ridiculous.' </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This Christmas, she'll be working. Fukuyama, who currently hosted two radio programs, has also denied any dating rumours . On the report of the wedding invitations, she mentioned 'it's probably the staff's birthday invitations.' Nakamura Toru, her co-star in the movie, who has been married for 15 years, also added that 'love doesn't change, it'll still be there.' Which Konishi replied with 'I wish I encounter someone like that, to be married one day.'</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Further speculation that ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">So she denied the marriage rumour, but if my translation is correct, she doesn't deny the dating rumour? Only Oricon added that Masha himself denied the rumour, but it was instead implied (I'm lonely! I will die alone~) rather than I heard him flatly says no [River] I think it was Koni-chan who said that, as for Masha, she's only been up his radio show once or twice, and she also denied the rumour that they've been dating for the past 4 years [Izumisano]</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I wonder was that when the rumours started?<br />
<br />
Since River is rather accurate in her translation as in the essence of it, I would agree especially this line...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>On the report of the wedding invitations, she mentioned 'it's probably the staff's birthday invitations.</i></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My opinion is if this is as quoted by her, then by denying it is a wedding invitation and saying it is a staff birthday invitation, she is sort of tacitly admitting they're in a relationship isn't it?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I still believe they're in a relationship and since a strong word of denial is used, probably the wedding is not anytime soon if any. And when Masha is back, I am sure he will comment on this since Manami Konishi commented on it. Oh dear, imagine his surprise when he is back from trekking the jungle and oggling girls in bikini with all these storm brewing!<br />
<br />
Personally I feel AMUSE being his management company should issue an official denial unless they themselves were taken by surprise.<br />
<br />
By the way, she looks very pretty and classy. And yes, once the shock was over I was thinking good for him and now I am like ok back to square one. I do realise NO now doesn't mean NO forever. There is still an August wedding... but I do think he may be on his <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2010/10/rumour-asian-tour-2011.html">ASIA CONCERT TOUR 2011</a>. Since there is no flat out denial on any relationship at all, they might have already married. OK! KIDDING! GOMEN! GOMEN!<br />
<br />
To be sure, let's wait for him to come back and then make a statement. Hopefully he will.<br />
<br />
And here is Mashamasha explaining everything ...<br />
<br />
<blockquote>not yet have josei seven on hand. But just sum up the fans discussion in 2ch, the magazine said koni held her birthday party on 26 Oct, her mother came to tokyo from Kogoshima to attend this birthday party. They did not say masha was there or not (but actually masha already left Japan at that time) They took a picture of koni's mother attending the party. The magazine said this birthday maybe held as a goodbye party to her single status (the magazine added although she did not announce anything in the party) And since October, some people received the invitation card from masha and Koni. The reporter said they did take a look at that card (but they did not post a photo of the card). For oricon news, they said when the reporter asked follow up questions after she denied the marriage, koni replied she has been his radio program guest. They interpret it as she is saying that their relationship is nothing more than that, i.e. koni is also denying the dating rumour. Oricon news also just updated the article with the words "also, fukuyama's agency co has denied the rumour". <a href="http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20101103-00000008-flix-movi">Yahoo article</a> more explicit where she denied they were marriage plans or that they were dating at all.</blockquote></div><br />
Very slow response from "fukuyama's agency". By the way she actually apologised for the inconvenience caused.<br />

News in English for completion sake courtesy of <a href="http://www.tokyohive.com/2010/11/josei-seven-reports-fukuyama-masaharu-konishi-manami-are-getting-married/">Tokyo Hive</a>...<br />
<br />
<blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">In its latest issue, published November 4th, weekly gossip magazine “Josei Seven” reported that Fukuyama Masaharu and Konishi Manami are ready to get married.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the magazine, they are planning to hold a wedding ceremony after the NHK’s drama series “Ryomaden” finishes its last episode, which is to be aired on November 28th. ”Josei Seven” also reported that the couple started seeking a place to hold their wedding in May, and they have already sent out all the invitations in the middle of October.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The big couple’s relationship was first reported in 2006, however, they have never been caught in any decisive photo, so there was also a rumor that they already broke up.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The possible bride of Fukuyama, Konishi showed up at the collaboration event for her upcoming movie, “Yukizuri no Machi” (will be released on November 20th), and Tokyo Tower’s Christmas illumination lighting event on November 3rd. Because of the report in “Josei Seven”, many media rushed to the event in hopes that she would give insight. However, Konishi denied the marriage rumors, and even denied their relationship. Fukuyama’s agency denied the report as well</div></blockquote><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Manami Konishi's absolute denial can be viewed in her own words <a href="http://video.jp.msn.com/watch/video/%E5%B0%8F%E8%A5%BF%E7%9C%9F%E5%A5%88%E7%BE%8E-%E7%A6%8F%E5%B1%B1%E9%9B%85%E6%B2%BB%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AE%E7%B5%90%E5%A9%9A%E5%A0%B1%E9%81%93%E3%82%92%E5%90%A6%E5%AE%9A/4kadk4w">in this video here </a>somewhere about 3:45 minutes into the video. She seems to take pains to stress her point as I kept hearing "hontoni, hontoni". Just a repeat; she denied any marriage rumours, she denied any dating rumours, she even denied any relationship rumours, she just stated they met at the radio show once or twice (for interview-I wonder is there a copy of that show floating in the net?!) and she definitely denied any link to Masha. And Masha's rep, that is AMUSE denied the rumour. Now for completion sake, waiting for Masha to come back and clarify.<br />
<br />
And he's not gay!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES - 05.11.2010] </span></b>Some doubts left, well Mashamasha has posted some missing link in HK Fans Discussion Forums, reposted here for completion sake (actually I am being a busybody here)<br />
<br />
<b>How they met? Or rather when did all these started?</b><br />
<i>as i remember it is (invited) consecutively 2 times to ANN. At that time, ANN has special part which invited guests to read out listener's letters on a special topic, she went for consecutive 2 weeks. Another guest invited for this special part is Shibasaki Kou </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>i just go to check fans page, it said the special topic of her term is called 100人のラブメッセージ、この想い届きますか?. They need to read out 100 listeners letters, but in the first time they just completed 84 letters, so she went again to read out the remaining 16 letters. But it did not say it is consecutive two weeks or not.</i><br />
<br />
<b>I value her feedback so this is what she has to say on all these wedding rumours</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>the most shocking moment ... is when I see the cover of the magazine. The headings they use seem to very 堅料 (</i>sensational?<i>). But then when more details about the article came, it becomes more and more 流 (</i>impossible?<i>) because everything they said does not have evidence, just quote somebody's words. </i><i>What I am worried now is they actually have evidence, e.g the picture of the invitation card, but they just don't post it for this time and post it in coming issue</i></div><br />
I wouldn't worry. Because if there is an invitation card, Manami Konishi and Amuse wouldn't deny it categorically and absolutely. The last impression good reputable stars would want is to ruin their reputation of perceived honesty. So now, I don't think there is an invitation card of that sort. Anyway the world or at least in Asia awaits with abated breath for the return of our prodigal son to either admit (which looks bad on Manami Konishi) or deny (which will make a lot of people very happy). Worse of course and the route he might take is to stay silent which will fuel the rumour further but I doubt that since AMUSE issued a denial on his behalf. Surely they must have contacted him when he was running after some lizard in Madagascar to authorise a denial? I've been reading some reactions which weren't good but rest assured at this moment, the entire expose is not true. Some still believe they're an item and hiding something, like yours truly but I wouldn't go as far as to say hiding something. I will take her word for it about the absolute denial which makes me believe they dated but since parted ways. So far a lot of fans and non-fans are taking the entire thing lightly but at the same time seriously because until the hero sings, no one will believe or disbelieve.<br />
<br />
But Masha, forget the lizard! Hurry back before Hurricane Manami strikes again!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES - 06.11.2010] </span></b>More denials, sort of. Co-star of Ryoma-Den Kagawa Teruyuki denied a report from the same source that Manami Konishi was at the <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2010/10/news-ryoma-den-wrap-up-party-11102010.html">Ryoma-Den wrap up party </a>on 11.10.2010. He said he didn't see her there. Further he said all these marriage rumours may not be true at all. Mashamasha further stated "<i>Besides, 香川照之 (Kagawa Teruyuki) went to Nagasaki last sunday (31.10.2010?) to flim ryomaden special (on air 29/12 & 30/12), he said masha told him he was in Buenos Aires (Argentina) at that time</i>". Now I am kinda confused. Which time was he referring to I wonder? Great though these 2 are close enough to confide in each other!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">CONSPIRACY TO SMEAR MASHA PERHAPS?</span></b><br />
Interesting because if all these is not true, there may be a conspiracy as such because Mashamasha noted "<i>the fans said that in a local tv program today, the MC (or guests?) said actually besides Josei Seven, there is another magazine who got the "invitation card". But this magazine (i think it is Friday) did a lot of investigation but still can't get any evidence to prove the "invitation card" is real thing and the marriage gossip is true, so they don't write anything out</i>".<br />
<br />
Friday has more journalistic integrity than others. And going back to Manami Konishi's absolute denial, this might be a prank, although a very "perfect" timing prank, depending on how you see it. No wonder Friday said to Josei Seven to show proof if they had any, since Friday only had a card to go by perhaps.<br />
<br />
Interesting. I will say this post of mine will go on and on and on until Masha himself issues an official statement. And since even friends or co-stars of his has been issuing statement, I will say he is bound to make one soon enough.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES] 07.11.2010</span></b><br />
Now I am a bit lost. The supposed wedding is in December 2010? Specifically 18th December? His schedule as revealed by Mashamasha is ...<br />
<br />
"<i>When he announced the Best Bang information in radio, he already told (should be in TFM) that this time he probably won't do any TV promotion, and joked that that's why he needs the radio staff to help him promote the album, say getting drunk in the bar and then telling other customers that fukuyama has best album released on 17/11, many many songs etc. He just said again in tfm (07.11.2010) he won't do promotion for the best album </i>"<br />
<br />
He might be back for the Ryoma-Den special in end of November (23rd November) and speculated will leave and then return mid December for preparation for the year end concerts. So 18th December does sound like a possible date for a wedding if any. Anyway what am I saying?! Both have denied so that's that!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">I'D SAY SUE!</span></b><br />
Mashamasha further posts and this is delicious if true...<br />
<br />
"<i>again, not sure how reliable it is: one guy writes in 2ch said her relative's friend (or someone who knows someone) is working in amuse, Team Fukuyama is extremely angry about this nonsense marriage gossip. Actually amuse wants to sue Josei Seven immediately, but given the best album is coming, and the work with NHK, it is difficult to do this. (I think it means NHK does not want to see their people get involved in this kind of litigation)</i>"<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES - 08.11.2010] MASHA CONFIRMED, SORT OF...</span></b><br />
<br />
Mashamasha has the latest update...<br />
<br />
"<i>Kagawa Teruyuki told in a PR event on 04.11.2010 that he has personally asked masha about the gossip marriage, and masha has denied it to him. </i>[<a href="http://ameblo.jp/shinmei1112/entry-10700377778.html">Source</a>]"<br />
<br />
Anyway translation proper by Izumisano ...<br />
<br />
<br />
"<i>In essence, this happened in one of the Ryomaden "Behind the Production" talks. (There have been 4 in the past month.) The first thing Kagawa-san said was "Minna-san, Fukuyama-san is not getting married (so soon)! Please rest assured. I confirmed it with him." Which of course got everyone in a frenzy. Then Kagawa-san went on to say he feels like he hasn't seen the last of Yataro. And that Masha said if they made Yataro-den, he wants to be Shibusawa Eiichi.</i>"<br />
<br />
<br />
So ermmm... he is the spokesperson now? Good to know. Did he call Masha? I wonder ...<br />
<br />
Anyway it seems AMUSE and Josei Seven does not have a good relationship as in the part this magazine has made many "revelations" about Masha, mostly about the women he dated. That's one part of the conspiracy. Like I said, Masha come back soon!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES] THE DENIAL IN YOUTUBE</span></b><br />
Wow, so many press people there! If you know Japanese you will probably hear her deny the rumour, explain how it probably came about, deny the relationship, explain how they met for that 1 or 2 times, deny everything. I still think he should make a statement when he returns. If he remains quiet, this will forever be speculated and unless he wants some peace of mind, this is how the profession works. You can't work in public sort of work and expert a private sort of expectation. So many things can simply be ignored, but when it gets to this huge a news with accusations being thrown around, a short response would be apt and quite enough.<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES] INVITATION CARD?</span></b><br />
Who knows, Josei Seven might just post the rumoured evidence called wedding invitation card in next issue. Either that or a full page apology which I feel AMUSE should demand for that. And mind you, a good amount of money can maketh a convincing invitation card.<br />
<br />
Oh Masha... where art thou voice Masha?<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES - 09.11.2010] Manami no more?</span></b><br />
According to <a href="http://www.cyzo.com/2010/11/post_5866.html">this really tabloid sort of article</a>, Manami Konishi's heart may actually belong to another; not sure who but some handsome president of her management company? Or some company she is associated with.Which is why she will not marry Masha, it says.<br />
<br />
Well... it's getting more complicated isn't it? Do you see this as good news or bad news or quite simply rubbish news? I am numbed. For all I know Masha may be back with his "hatsukoi", whoever that may be. Or could this be a red herring? Damage control PR?<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES - 10.11.2010] NOPE, NO INVITATION CARD & A MOTHER'S VIEW</span></b><br />
Got the latest from HK Fans Discussion Forums, new issue does not have invitation card. Probably AMUSE said "You print, we sue" or maybe there isn't one as Josei Seven and the likes might have learn to read that "BIRTHDAY" is not "WEDDING". And not sure about whose mother, <s>but I believe Manami Konishi's mother came out and denied any relationship between these 2</s>. Nope, it wasn't her mother, she shut the door on the reporters. So who's mother that denied the relationship? Can't be Masha's okasan, she is above all this. Now I am confused.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES - 11.11.2010] MASHA MAMA DENIES IT ALL!!</span></b><br />
Yep, the earlier statement reportedly by a mother said there's no such thing as a relationship between the two was indeed by Masha's Okasan! Reporters were sent to Nagasaki to investigate this statement and I am sure Masha will be darn pissed to know his aged mother is being harassed as well. Anyway reportedly the marriage rumour and invitation card is debunked because impossible to have a wedding in December and no one could confirm who the supposed invitation was sent to and no one in Nagasaki got any invitation at all. Masha's Okasan reportedly said there's no such invitation sent at all. So since reportedly she denied any relationship and she denied the invitation, which means as we all suspected after this story went on and on and on that perhaps the supposed invitation card is fake and Miss Manami Konishi spoke the truth, so bless her! Theory is now back to magazines using this "story" to boost sales. Frankly isn't that the function of a tabloid magazine? Well folks, we have on good authority, from every "spokesperson" of Masha except the man himself (as he is not in Japan) debunking this story, including the "bride", the mother, the "mother in law" (kinda), best mates and basically every fan there is.<br />
<br />
All of the above gathered from the article posted at HK Fans Discussion Forums, using online translator which says the magazine is "Bunshun Weekly".<br />
<br />
Masha, if you don't come back soon and make a statement, the paps will move next to your friends and then your school, etc and if by now no one knows you're supposedly getting married, in a week or so the entire Japan if not the world would have known you're getting married in December even if you're really NOT getting married in December.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES] MORE FROM THE MAGAZINE</span></b><br />
<br />
Mashamasha I believe got hold of a magazine Bunshun Weekly as stated above, I think she must be referring to it and she says in HK Fans Discussion Forums ..<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>There is a photo of the birthday party invitation card. Just summarise what is said in the magazine ...<br />
<br />
They first interviewed those who went to the birthday party, the people said it is totally not a wedding announcement party purely a birthday party.<br />
<br />
Then they interviewed Manami Konishi's agency co, they said they don't expect it becomes that big news. The birthday party was joined by around 70 people who have worked with Manami Konishi's, including some media people. They invited Manami Konishi's's mother to join to give her surprise. Maybe it is the first time they organized such big birthday party to Manami Konishi's, that's why the marriage rumour came out. The agency co even said she is really busy, she won't have time to date and get married. <br />
<br />
Then the magazine reporter went to nagasaki to interview masha's friends. His friend said none of them received that invitation card or heard of his marriage. He said he does not believe masha will get married without informing his childhood friends in nagasaki. <br />
<br />
Then the magazine said it maybe true that masha really has plan to get married in near future because according to his friends, masha's brother just had his 3rd child, and masha mama always said she also wants to see masha's children. When masha had drinking with his old friends after the inasayama live last year, when his friends talked about their children, masha said he also wanted to be like them (to have children) in the near future. But masha and masha mama always say they prefer masha's wife to be an ordinary woman, not actresses etc.<br />
<br />
Then they interviewed masha mama through her home's intercom. Mama said absolutely no marriage, no invitation card!<br />
<br />
Then the magazine interviewed one entertainment production official/representative. This guy said since spring this year, a number of magazine got the dating gossip. Josei seven and another magazine (must be Friday) went to do investigation, but couldn't get any evidence. If it is really like Josei seven said the wedding venue is confirmed etc, the agency companies won't deny the gossip in such way. Given the timing when the rumour came out, this created great promotion effect for her new movie.<br />
<br />
Lastly they interviewed Josei Seven, Josei Seven said their denial is within their expectation. But they said their magazine always report things based on comprehensive investigation</blockquote><br />
Hmmm... who's the girl Masha? Anyway I think this explains it then. Except this won't stop until Masha announces he ain't getting married to Manami Konishi, at all. Since he has plans to get married and have kids, he might be looking or may have found her.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[UPDATES] ONE FINAL POST ...</span></b><br />
Masha since he returned from his trip abroad has not made ONE SINGLE COMMENT on the above. NOT ONE. I applaud his consistency. Anyway HK media that is <a href="http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/template/apple/art_main.php?iss_id=20101125&sec_id=462&subsec_id=465&art_id=14697938">Apple</a> is not finished yet;<br />

<blockquote>福山不忿被女友利用<br />
2010年11月25日 <br />
藉今年 NHK大河劇《龍馬傳》人氣爆燈的日本男星福山雅治,前日按傳統跟明年大河劇主角、事務所師妹上野樹里作交接儀式,其間他不時微笑,但原來在背後卻嬲到爆炸。<br />
事緣與福山多年來得個傳字的緋聞女友小西真奈美,早前涉向傳媒放料指二人快將結婚,藉此為她主演的新片《走過了的街道》造勢,福山有感被擺上枱,故向身邊人士表示「不會再和她見面」,令二人戀情凍過水。<br />
<br />
Ok, someone translated for me and basically this "news" says that Masha wasn't very happy that his rumoured girlfriend is always using his name to raise her own popularity everytime she has got a new film or leading role. He may be smiling during promo (such as the passing of baton ceremony) but inside he is in fact not happy at all. Last part wasn't translated for me but from what I can understand, he vows never to see her again?</blockquote><br />
Anyway, I must emphasise, he did not comment at all about Manami Konishi or the marriage or the uproar since his return. In fact the above is just pure speculation. Masha, until and unless you utter the word NO, this will go on and on and on like that Celine Dion song about doomed lovers on a sinking ship.<br />
<br />
[UPDATES - 11.01.2011] And the rumours are back on, courtesy of China news now<a href="http://yule.sohu.com/20110111/n278800449.shtml"> here</a>. Thanks to Szeying for some translation, the rest is by me ...<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Mentioning after he will marry Konishi Manami after We're Bros Tour.. Saying that last time Konishi Manami turn down the rumour openly is to force Masha to marry her.. Both had ask Tetsuya Takeda to be the host of their wedding..</blockquote><br />
And I am adding that ... So Josei 7 was groundless abt the date of marriage but the marriage rumour was true, according to the article. The marriage was then postponed due to exposure and Josei 7 is sticking to their story that these 2 are together and they will marry in later part of next year. <br />
<br />
My conclusion? Trash. The entire article is based on Josei 7 which they quoted extensively. The lady has denied this rumour forcefully, to the point of saying she hardly knows him, she has never dated him, and I do not believe Masha will be forced into marriage like this. Moreover her apologies and denials were very strong, he denied it later on, his mother denied it, everybody denied it. To then get married, that would make them look like idiots and how would the fans feel after such strong denial? Idiots as well. No, I don't believe this. I believe she may be getting marriage but the groom ain't him. He will get married one day, but the bride isn't her.<br />
<br />
Ok, case close until Japan side starts all over again.<br />
<br />
NOT QUITE. Apparently he will marry her at the end of concert tour in July 2011 (but we all know end of concert tour is in August 2011) and bring her along for honeymoon during Asia Tour and greet the fans in HK or something like that [<a href="http://azashi.seesaa.net/article/179194423.html">Source</a>]. By now my 2 reaction is...<br />
<br />
a. Masha you wanna marry just marry. Don't wait till end of year<br />
b. bring to HK to greet fans? Doesn't he know that particular lady conjures up a lot of mixed emotions and no one will say WELCOME BRIDE OF MASHA but rather probably sneer at her?<br />
<br />
Like I said, if this is true, the bride ain't her. And Masha will not bring her out, yes she will follow along for the tour but not like honeymoon during tour and let fans see. And even if this is true, my only conclusion is he may marry one of the backup singers who are rather pretty. Because who else gets to spend so much time with him??<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">04.03.2011 : Case reopened?</span></b><br />
<a href="http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/110303/18/n03q.html">Re this news here </a> and the last paragraph which suggested they were spotted again somewhere. In a restaurant in Tokyo<a href="http://yule.sohu.com/20110302/n279615871.shtml"> as suggested in this article</a>. Both articles are on 03.03.2011 an 02.03.2011 respectibely and since not a whiff from Japanese media (it must have originated from some Japanese gossip mag though I haven't heard anything yet) I would say this might be old news brought up as new news. If Masha isn't really with her, after all the troubles, I don't think he would want to sit down and have a drink with her. If he is still with her, how this relationship can last with the man gone for work most of the time is beyond me. If they're secretly married so all those going aways don't matter to her, let me first say I will be pissed if this news is not shared with friends. But from Masha's reaction I could deduce all those speculations are just trash, including mine.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">21.04.2011 : New alert! New alert!</span></b><br />
Re <a href="http://geinou-7days.seesaa.net/article/196904592.html">here</a>, saying he will go public soon with his wedding plans. Frankly, I don't believe this until he actually goes public. From the way I see it, I doubt it. But who's the girl? Same rumoured girl or different one?<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">[ADD]</span></b> Thanks to Airin for the very detailed explanation, just don't ask what is strawberry hunting but we all know what is bust exercising girls. Oh Masha, what you need is a girl who doesn't fancy you but you fancy her, you need the chase and not some blind dates. And since Ryoma-Den??<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Magazine Shuukan Bunshun is reporting in its next issue some comments that that Masha wants to marry a normal ordinary (non-entertainment industry) girl.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>He was quoted as saying that after reaching 40, he started to want to get married, and he would like to have 2 (or so) children.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>According to the comments, his office staff have been involved in arranging dates or setting him up with potential marriage partners from the ranks of ordinary girls.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>He (or his staff) brought a girl(s) to the Ryomaden set while filming at locations and there were secret gatherings/meetings/liasons at drinking pubs and so forth, but he never quite stuck his neck out there and fell for anyone.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>It goes on to say that according to the magazine, he isn't dating anyone at this time, but if he were to do so, it would be with a traditional family-oriented girl.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Another post mentions that he has enjoyed quite the bachelor life hanging out with Lily Frankie, including going "strawberry hunting"!!!, but more recently he has been set up with drinking dates in search of a good woman.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Basically, in a nutshell, what I read is not that he is getting married to a specific person, but rather that he has been getting "hooked up" or introduced to non-entertainment industry ladies on a casual dating basis by those around him. So far, he hasn't been impressed to the point of wanting to pick one and get married, and even though there is no shortage of "bust exercising" girls who would love to marry him, a prospective mate has to deal with some pretty high expectations "hurdles".</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>I'm not sure he is going to like this article or this press. At <a href="http://entameblog.seesaa.net/article/196943672.html">this source</a>, they ID people from his record company along with "Real Live" as sources and the Shuukan Bunshun magazine.</i><br />

<b><span style="color: #990000;">27.01.2011 : New woman, new relationship, with a huge bunny involved!</span></b><br />
Woah!!!! I went on a trip for 2 days and suddenly boom! rumours! gossips! bunny?! Yeap!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://s1180.photobucket.com/albums/x416/funnlim/?action=view&current=fm-topic_b.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x416/funnlim/th_fm-topic_b.jpg" /></a></center><br />
<br />
Friday published about a new rumoured relationship which Masha's neighbours said started like last summer, with a very low profile and almost no gossip actress by the name of <a href="http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Fukiishi_Kazue">Fukishi Kazue</a>. Apparently, Friday said they don't have conclusive evidence but decided to publish whatever they have because they well.. they're a gossip magazine. Nothing is conclusive until Masha says it is. Anyway Masha is or was not in Japan during the publication which I believe was 2 days ago or something. The pictures showed the lady walking in and out of the purportedly Masha's residence holding a huge cage with a huge bunny. Masha was seen walking in and out with a few guys by his side, 2 of them his managers. Neighbours said they often saw her entering his place since last summer. Agencies for both stars didn't directly deny the allegations but they didn't admit either. I think I read she was there to put the bunny with some friends or something. Seriously, my mind just went blank after the word bunny. Anyway you might wonder they know each other? Thanks to fellow fans, yes, they do, way back in 2001 during a photoshoot for Anan (<a href="http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f95869401">you can see the pictures here</a>) and she is purportedly a fan of his and watches his concerts, etc. Some fans even deduce she's the real deal. Is she? I don't know. Maybe true, maybe not. Right now it is not marriage rumour BUT relationship rumour. I still think he will just marry and then announce. But now I am thinking does Masha like Bunny? No? Then no way they're in a relationship! Just imagine 5 single actresses walking in, imagine what Friday will say eh? Anyway fans even said Masha has moved from that "love nest" already some time ago. Some fans pointed out the background pictures are inconsistent. Basically it is not rumour, just plain gossip at this stage. Anyway I still think he is single. Why? Errmmmmm... because he has yet to meet me! Kidding! Kidding! Anyway general consensus is fans like her. I don't know her so I don't know what to think. She's young by his standards but good point is she is very very very low profile.<br />
<br />
For the "scandalous" pictures (why can't Masha be more like Raymond Lam and Ron Ng from HK with all their GFs taking bed pictures, etc?!), go to <a href="http://www.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=17071450&extra=page%3D1&page=20">post 300 page 20</a> or click <a href="http://n.pic.to/55lco">here</a>, <a href="http://l.pic.to/8sqye">here</a>,<a href="http://e.pic.to/514un"> here</a>, <a href="http://p.pic.to/139lu">here</a>, <a href="http://f.pic.to/2ugag">here</a> and <a href="http://o.pic.to/8hyu9">here</a>.<br />
<br />
And English translated news with picture <a href="http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/01/fukiishi-kazue-spotted-at-fukuyama-masaharus-apartment-amuse-blocking-reports/">here at Tokyohive</a>. But do take note, when she was supposedly spotted at his place on x'mas eve or day, Masha was having concerts at Yokohama. So this could mean either she was there for someone else or he lets her into his apartment, alone with her bunny. If it is the latter, I suspect wedding bells soon. But my feeling is the latter, until Masha confirms or deny and in his usual fashion he probably won't say anything at all. So speculate away!! By the way fans do like this "pairing".<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #990000;">28.01.2012 : Masha's response!</span></b><br />
Sort of. In ANN show tonight 28.01.2012, Masha responded to the rumours of him and <a href="http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Fukiishi_Kazue">Fukishi Kazue</a> and basically it is strange he even responded at all but anyway he kinda sort of said "No comment" but reading the translation by Mashamasha, it is "ignore". So basically he won't waste 1 second of our time to confirm if true or untrue or even acknowledge the lady as his girlfriend or not his girlfriend. The tone is as if either she is real and so he doesn't wish to say more or in my personal opinion; it is akin to "puh-leazzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" sort of response which if I were the girl and am his girlfriend I will throw a tantrum, like cook his black bunny or something ala Fatal Attraction. Mashamasha went further and translated he said "they just talked about the pictures in Friday, but masha said he won't talk about this topic. He said "<i>スルーで</i>" (which Mashamasha said means 無視 meaning IGNORE!) <i>he said if he knows he will appear in the magazine, he will have wore better and kakkoii clothes. The one in the picture is too ordinary. And he even joked his manager was also in the picture</i>"<br />
<br />
I think if he can joke that way it means he is not ready to confirm the bunny is his, yet. Imagine you're the girl... I will be pretty pissed off.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
First bunny gate (see 27.01.2012 above), and now cap-gate! Yes both wearing same cap. Not very subtle hint eh? Maybe this is an exclusive cap that he shares freely with his celebrity fans who attends his concert? Do I believe he is seeing someone? YES. Is she the one he is seeing? MAYBE. Will he let us know? NEVER, not until after he registers his marriage. Anyway see <a href="http://www.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=17071450&extra=page%3D1&page=35">post #522 page 35</a> where I also took the scans for more report in Japanese, something about the bunny's name in his greeting cards or something. Oooooohhhh... big clue eh? No?<br />

By the way why they were connected it seems may have something to do with this BROS new year postcard where the words in the paper he is holding up is the name of her rabbit.

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.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">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!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">A very happy new year 2012 to all my friends and visitors! I would like to quote from the lyrics of Masha's song, <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2010/10/michishirube-2010-signpost-2010-lyrics.html">Michishirube</a>;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">(We) meet with Love; believe in Love; get hurt by Love,</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(We) despise Love; then forgive with Love and learn how to Love</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(When I was) battered by wind, confused and in doubt, on my path of survival,</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Your smile showed me the way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Masha will sing Kazoku ni Narou yo, live from concert hall where he will be having the daikanshasai 2011. Lucky fans!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">PREVIOUSLY POSTED ON 30.11.2011</span></b></div><br />
And yes!! <a href="http://www9.nhk.or.jp/kouhaku/artists/index.html">Confirmed</a>! Masha is on the Kouhaku Uta Gassen 2011 list on 31.12.2011 but question is what song he will sing? Fighting Pose? Something fast please? And definitely live telecast from concert hall and I suppose he may want to perform before a full audience and so fans going for his concert will definitely see this performance live as well. Lucky lucky you!! Anyway bookmark this post for all updates on everything about Kouhaku Uta Gassen.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977354211320771460.post-54131535705481914932011-12-28T00:49:00.002+08:002011-12-28T13:53:04.926+08:00[CM] Asahi Beer - "Departure" [27.12.2011]<center><img height="179" src="http://japan.internet.com/img/20111226/1324900799.jpg" width="320" /><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">New Asahi Super Dry CM and this one you won't be disappointed as "The CM was done in Los Angeles Convention Centre with 500 extras, with an airport set that looks similar to the real thing. The image song, Around the World was also written by Fukuyama. In additional survey, 'Who do you want to go overseas with?' Fukuyama is the number one choice amongst all ages" [River of MashaPlus - <a href="http://japan.internet.com/busnews/20111227/2.html">Source article</a>]. yes it features new instrumental unreleased single, Around The World which he debuted in <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2011/09/coming-soon-daikanshasai-2011.html">Daikanshasai 2011</a>. Sounds like Revolution//Evolution although has to listen to full song for the difference. At least it is a fast paced music!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">UPDATED - 19.12.2011</span></b></div>Old news in Masha world since this is a few days old <a href="http://www.fukuyamamasaharu.com/sp/kansyasai2011/#goods">but the goods list is out</a>! I want... let me check first.... By the way you can buy even if you're not BROS member. Starting 24.12.2011.<br />
<br />
An explanation on the words on that black t-shirt by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>for the black t-shirt, the front side has 覇志不意虎 横浜 and 旭大橋 赤い流星</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>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</i><br />
<i>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</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>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" )</i><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">THE OFFICIAL STUFF</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.fukuyamamasaharu.com/sp/kansyasai2011/">Official website</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">THE RUNDOWN</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2010/10/rumour-asian-tour-2011.html">Asia Tour</a>, dead. Now back to Daikanshasai which is a surprise for me. As explained by Mashamasha;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>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</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">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 <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2011/06/snippets-ann-tfm-062011-onwards.html">ANN/TFM snippets post</a>, he announced in ANN on 17.09.2011 that:-</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>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.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway more snippets by Mashamasha;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>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. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">More explanation by Mashamasha;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>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. </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">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;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. it is from an album</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. not a single</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. not originally released as a single</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. no tie ups, so no CM songs, series song, promo songs</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">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.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<b>Version 1 by River of MashaPlus.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
This wind is bright<br />
This street, is not the end<br />
This shout has to be heard<br />
Only believing is not enough<br />
<br />
It's so hot, it's shivering<br />
Where's your spirit? It's definitely still there...<br />
<br />
Scrubbing a worn boots to wear<br />
Going out on a new journey<br />
There's no need to put wish into words<br />
Instead, let's sing the song for tomorrow<br />
<br />
This love is intense,<br />
This eye, is empty<br />
To catch something that drifts away<br />
Only to loose it<br />
<br />
No matter how lonely is the night<br />
The sun always rise with gentle strength<br />
<br />

<b>Version 3 by Fiamou of MashaPlus</b><br />
<br />
<br />
The wind is dazzling, the road never ends<br />
Stil, the cry has to be heard and faith is not enough<br />
<br />
Some times burning hot, sometimes shivering cold,<br />
Our heart is still there, searching…<br />
<br />
Wearing worn out boots,<br />
We set off for a new journey<br />
<br />
Our desire cannot be put into words<br />
So let’s sing a song for tomorrow.<br />
<br />
This love is intense, this eye is fleeting<br />
It catches something that drifts away.<br />
Only to lose it again.<br />

No matter how lonely is the night,<br />
The Sun will also rise calm but strong.<br />

<br />
Wanna go see the ocean?<br />
It was me who asked but<br />
For some reason you kept<br />
Your gaze downwards you seemed<br />
Fascinated by how the sand<br />
Clings to the soles of your sneakers<br />
And I realized how very little<br />
I really know about you<br />
<br />
<br />
Quietly<br />
Time is the only thing that passes<br />
And here I am now<br />
Trying my best to trace<br />
The path of your gaze<br />
<br />
<br />
You are right here<br />
Nestled deep<br />
Within my heart<br />
There is no reason why<br />
I should hesitate<br />
But I do anyway<br />
<br />
<br />
The days I don't get to see you<br />
All feel very long<br />
The words I didn't get to say to you<br />
Spill out from within me in this room<br />
<br />
<br />
It's killing me<br />
To be apart from you<br />
It all comes suddenly to me<br />
And it's all because of you<br />
I'm feeling this way<br />
<br />
<br />
You are right here<br />
Nestled deep<br />
Within my heart<br />
Haunted by all these thoughts<br />
My mind is filled<br />
With you and only you<br />
<br />
<br />
It's almost like<br />
I can hear<br />
Your heart beating<br />
There is no reason why<br />
I should hesitate<br />
But I do anyway<br />
<br />
<br />
You are right here<br />
Nestled deep<br />
Within my heart<br />
Slowly but surely<br />
My mind's overflowing<br />
With growing thoughts of you<br />

<i>he just said he has re-written the lyrics of the old songs for daikanshasai .he didn't tell which old song (s?), he only said he has not performed it since Eggman debut live. in total he changed the lyrics of 5 old songs. 魂ラジ (Tamaraji - own award?) Award Best Movie is Andaluica, the person they are talking to is the producer of the movie. Masha asked him to have a seal "魂ラジアワード賞受賞作品" on the DVD cover of Andalucia, it will help to boost up the sales of the DVD. Like those movies which get Oscar awards. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>And masha said he gives a present to the producer as the award, and the present is one persimmon ( because Katsuko mama sent him a box of persimmons today (made by Katsuko herself) . He is thinking whether he should give one to Oda Yuji too</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
More on the songs' lyrics he changed, by Mashamasha;<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i></i><br />
<i>when he talked about re-writing lyrics of old songs, he explained why he had to do this is because he thinks he can't perform those songs on the stage again without changing the lyrics. He said those songs have some messages inside, but the existing lyrics can't communicate those messages clearly due to limited vocabulary he had in the past. When he started to re-write the lyrics, he intended to modify a bit only, but then at the end he re-wrote the whole songs. (he said he signficantly changed the lyrics for one song, moderately changed for one song, slightly changed for three songs, so total 5 songs) </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Then he said he actually wanted to re-write the lyrics of 追憶の雨の中, but he knows it is too late to do this after including it in best albums for several times and singing it for X times in concert (people are already too familiar with the lyrics of the song). But for the side B song of the debut single, i.e. かなしみは, he said he loves the melody very much, but for its lyrics, he wants to do something on it. But then he added that he is not going to sing it in daikanshasai this time</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>btw, he also said even he has re-written the lyrics of some of the old songs this time, he has not changed the concept/theme of the songs</i><br />

Not sure what is the request song. <strike>Fighting Pose? </strike>Anyway some snippets by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>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</i><br />
<br />
More snippets, on the <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2011/11/cm-gree.html">GREE cms</a> by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>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</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>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. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>S: Did they carry weapons?</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>F: About the weapon, I leave it to the professionals to design, because i don't have the knowledge</i><br />

<i>He spent 2 nights and 4 days in LA this week (</i>I think she meant 4 days 3 nights<i>). 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.</i><br />

<i>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)</i><br />

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;<br />

btw, last night masha talked about the CG effect in wowow live circuit. He said he watched hey hey hey which showed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM0kmp6kCYM">one akb48's live event</a>, 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.<br />

<br />
<i>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</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i> 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?"</i><br />

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.<br />
<br />
Anyway more snippets by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<i>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. </i><br />
<br />
Interesting! Which means he may sing my most favourite song and also Beautiful Day and I won't be there!!!<br />
<br />
Excited?<br />

<i>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><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
I wonder which collaboration? Anyone knows?<br />
<br />
<i>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><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
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?<br />
<br />
<i>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</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
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.<br />
<br />
<i>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)</i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

A lot of snippets tonight!! I wish for a full recap since some are rather interesting. First, by Halad;<br />
<br />
<i>a fan wrote that she wants a live with Masha and everyone else in underwear he makes... and she wants Masha-coloured undies. Masha says that that might be "a bit difficult". A high school student said it would be nice if they could make a Masha shitajiki so she can proudly take him to school and have an excuse to stare at him during class! LOL, Sou-chan suggested Masha erasers... They're thinking about other things that would be nice to use at school. "Gym uniforms? One that would have my face on it like BAAAAN". Other goods people suggested included car license plates, little chibi things (not sure if I heard that right), guitar picks and now a camera bag with straps. On guitar picks, I think he said that it's perfectly possible, and they had them in some previous concerts. I think he might've said that they make them anyways (he uses them, right?) so it would probably be a go. Masha's saying that camera bags would be too expensive, but he could do them as a limited edition thing... He thinks maybe it would be better to have a more general bag for computers and things since more people could use them. A fan wants Masha pyjamas. On pyjamas, Masha says he wouldn't have buttons on them since he thinks they get in the way Maybe he's having a hard time deciding about this since he doesn't wear PJs himself...Masha says sex is creative.</i><br />
<br />
Oh dear, why stop at the word creative? What else? WHAT ELSE?!<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
More by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<i>masha just talked about the kids interview in Music station. One of the girl who said masha is a nice guy and gave her red pocket money is his friend's daughter. Masha said it is totally a coincidence. When his friend knew music station was coming to his daughter's school to have the interview, he immediately told masha and asked what his daughter should say, whether she can tell about the red pocket money in the interview</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
This was in <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2011/09/tv-music-station-tv-asahi02092011.html">Music Station on 02.09.2011</a> I think.<br />

<br />
<i>what he described himself of younger days "やりたいことは分からないけどやりたくないことは分かる" </i><br />
<i>完全明白呢種心情, 唔知自己想做乜, 但知道自己唔想做啲乜</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<strike>I used an online translator, seems to get what it means but rather hard to write it out. I will just leave it up to you to do your own translation-but he sounds rather rebellious and difficult and unwilling to try new stuff when he was young if my online translator is correct.</strike> My online translator is lousy! I mustered up my pride and asked someone who knows the Chinese translation and she read it out and I can translate it as "I know not what I want to do, but I do know what I don't want to do". Does it correspond with the Japanese version?<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>btw, they talked about concert goods tonight. Masha said they did have plan to release sneaker (the concert logo one), but the design is too complicated so they gave up the plan. And the listeners suggested him to release plastic file, guitar pick set (it seems he also buys this idea and really considers it, and they said the set could include the picks he used in previous tours and daikanshasai), camera bag. And masha said a bag brand once offered to release camera bag, computer bag for his tour.</i><br />
<div><br />
</div><br />
I agree on the guitar picks!! I want! I want! Plastic file also!!<br />
<br />
Camera bag as Masha have said will be too expensive. But then the recent tracksuit for Live Bang 2011 is also very expensive anyway. And Masha also talked about his participation in the upcoming Fukushima Live. <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2011/09/concert-fukushima-live-17092011.html">You can read more about that event here</a>.<br />

Something about his younger time which is rare. Anyway by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>he just said when he was in secondary school he was the leader of the school's brass band group. There was a tradition that if the members are late for practice, they need to be punished by beating on the buttocks using sticks (?). So he also is the "executioner"/carry out this tradition. And one day the deputy who was a female student came to him and asked him to stop doing this because those female members really hated this punishment. He thought he had done nothing wrong because he only carried out the tradition. But as he didn't want to be labelled as the annoying guy, so he stopped this tradition. </i><br />
<br />
Frankly he should. Secondary school and girls have their buttocks beaten with stick or whatever? Now Masha may be arrested for sexual harrasment or abuse or something! Such a tradition is stupid. But one wonders did he enjoy the tradition? Is everything so sexualised in Japan and no one sees anything wrong with that? He was wise to listen to his deputy. A leader who leads well is that sort of listens to his subordinates.<br />

Some snippets;<br />
<br />
<i>they are talking about NHK news's "promotion" of the single</i> [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? <i>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</i> [Mashamasha] Which necessitates Masha having male managers. Force eh? <i>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</i> [Mashamasha] <i>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</i> [Mashamasha]<br />

<br />
<i>sou-chan told masha fans' interpretation about the Kazoku PV (daddy has serious illness and knows he is going to die, daddy already died and is in heaven, but the god lets him come back to spend a day with the son as present to him) Masha laughs so hard and asked fans stop making such morbid setting, don't make him die. and masha also asked fans if they have comments, they should directly write to ANN, not in sou-chan's twitter. Don't treat him as the contact person, sou-chan has his own life</i></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div><br />
I agree with fellow fans that says his wife died and he now has to take care of his son alone. But there was little chemistry between Masha and the child actor and my impression is maybe his sister or some relative died and he had to take care of the child. Family need not be father and son. Anyway Sou-chan seems to enjoy twittering so I am sure Masha was just joking.<br />

Masha started guitar when he was 12? I really wanna know more about that aspect. Anyway "<i>there will be also kids special next week</i>".

<br />
And tonight, the Masha we know is back, and live broadcast since no concert at this moment! Not only that, he tweeted (<i>ホッパン甲子園開催してえな! BY福山- </i>via Iphone no less)! Anyway some recap thanks to MashaPlus and HKFC combined;<br />
<br />
<i>the Album version of Fighting Pose is different from the ones we heard so far. </i>Really?! I wonder what's different!! <i>The wedding version of kazuko ni narou yo will debut next week in ANN. He announced Hard Rain as the Live Version to be included in the 27th single, </i>which we all already know.<i> And he played that version by the way. Sou chan tweeted Masha was in v-neck white t-shirt and sandals, </i>which made me wonder, no pants?! <i>Then something about buying the various versions of Playboy magazine from airport bookshops when he has the chance to do so. Then some more things about hotpants (</i>oh how he loves them!<i>) and nudist beach in Spain and Italy (</i>which you must be nude to walk on nudist beach!!), so ladies, you know what to wear at Okinawa! <i>Talking with the Fukushima radio announcer by phone. it seems masha is not just asking fans to wear hot pants, he and sou-chan also want to wear hot pants and form middle age fashion statement with other ANN staff. </i>That is not a sight I wanna see, but Masha has always worn super tight pants in his concerts ...<br />
<br />
Oh, on nudist beach, he mentioned something about shaving and once again Mashamasha to the rescue to make sense what he said and let's just say, this is a gem!<br />
<br />
<i>he was not nude because he was not prepared to show his masha. And he also thought it's too eye catching for an Asian to nude his body in nudist beach due to the color contrast between the skin and the underhair. He now regrets why he did not just have hair shave to eliminate this worry.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div><br />

Request song is Yakusoku no Oka. <br />
<br />
A bit on the request song by Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<i>the ann request tonight is from a girl to her boyfriend's mother. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>The girl said his mother is a big fans of masha and always played masha songs in the car whey they went shopping together, which made the girl become masha's fans too. They have agreed to watch Saitama live together in November. But unfortunately his boyfriend's mother died from cancer recently. They played Yakusoku no Oka in her funeral as this is her most favorite song.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>The girl had decided not to go to Saitama live but her boyfriend wanted her to go so she changed her mind.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Then masha said if Saitama was held in March as scheduled originally, they would have watched the concert together</i><br />
<br />
By Halad;<br />
<br />
<i>Masha talking about various concert things, like how his physical condition is often the best the day right before the concert, or having to not drinkfor weeks on end ("It's like not getting enough water! I get thirsty! D:"). He says when he doesn't drink his condition is too good and he overworks himself which isn't cool. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Masha is now Wowow's Ma-sha kun, instead of NHK's Domo-kun </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Masha said that he may look like he's having fun in his lives but he actually gets very tired, which is why he took so long to write Fighting Pose (I think he's been writing it for a while, since the tour started, or maybe even before). He says that normally you'd have a single ready three months before the release but in his case it's not done even though there's only a month left</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>The Kazoku ni Narou Yo and Fighting Pose PV's are already filmed! </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Masha: "I've already filmed the PV's."</i><br />
<i>Sou-chan: "Ehhh?! When?!"</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>but now they're talking about what Masha's fashion was like back during his debut time</i><br />
<br />
By River;<br />
<br />
<i>And Fighting Pose is about Kagawa-san. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Trivia: Kagawa Teruyuki has a boxing background. </i><br />
<br />
By Mashamasha;<br />
<br />
<i>kagawa is the guest MC of a boxing program in wowow, that's why masha said the image person of Fighting Pose is kagawa</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>They were talking about Red Cliff's stage drama, in which the guest tonight Tonesaku plays the role of Zhuge Liang, this role was played by Takeshi in the movie version. it seems masha has so much interests in Chiling Lin. The guest Tonesaku is now having stage play with her (Red Cliff stage version) and masha asked Tonesaku to help him take a photo of her. He kept asking Tonesaku whether her skin is beautiful, her hair is beautiful, her style is good and how is her smell.....He wants to go to see the stage play in order to meet her</i><br />
<br />
Masha, she's not your type. Too high maintenance. Just because she is famous for having seductive voice and voluptous figure does not equate compatibility. Oh Masha, look past all that! And she might be a bit too tall for you. For me, a bit too skinny.<br />

</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>Something about walking, Masha thinking of it as training...Masha says he thinks about his hamstrings and calves when he walks. I think he might've said something about his butt too, not completely sure. I think he's been saying that he walked to Tamaraji? And something about Tokyo being cold, even at this time of year?</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />

</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>Masha just said that he liked having his hair longer for Ryomaden because in the beginning, no one could recognize him! He thought, "I can finally live properly!" But then when it got even longer, it had the opposite effect and he'd hear things like "Ryoma." "It's Ryoma-san!" "OMG IT'S RYOMA" </i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>And he says that the last time he got chosen as fashion leader during Niji time, he felt really pressured!</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>A second-year high school student asked him to tell her about fashion which she's never been very interested in, and he replied, very dramatically, </i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>"You see... Masha actually... has no idea!"</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>("sappari wakaranai", like Yukawa-sensei!)</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>Something about leotards. </i></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">I hate walking so that makes me forever youthful. And how he can ever walk to Tamaraji building without being chased by fans? Tokyo is cold now? When everyone tells me it is hot? Masha, you need the warmth of a woman's body!! And his fashion sense is debatable BUT I do miss his Ryoma hair. And no, no leotards, please!</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />

Info by Izumisano, the song is from his 1995 album, Message (Side B).<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><br />

Some good snippets, never thought I read about his mom thanks to Mashamasha...</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>masha said if katsuko (his mother) wants to tell masha something, she doesn't tell him directly, she will tell masha's friend Kimura takuya (his highschool classmate - not the actor) and "utilise" kimura to pass her words to masha. She said the current house no longer livable, and also said mansion not desirable, does she want masha to buy an apartment to her? </i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Masha renovated the small house to I believe double storey or something like that. It is the family home in Nagasaki, apparently the first stop for any Masha fan.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>last time katsuko wanted to buy new sofa, she did't tell masha, he only knew it from his manager (but he did buy a new sofa to her as mother's day present)</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Intriguing. So he is the one taking care of his mom financially, and not his older brother which is what it is since his older brother is married with I think 3 children. Very intriguing. And why must she tell his manager that she wants a sofa? Even she can't call him to say "Son, I want a sofa"?! I wonder did he bring her to shop for a sofa or he decided which sofa? I mean not sure whether his taste would suit the old lady...</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">On some stuff he also mentioned about the tenga episode. Tenga is by the way I believe brand name of sex toys, where he was once given such toys from fan at a petrol station. I think he gave it as a gift to some contest winner over at ANN later on, unused and still in original packaging, just so you know ...</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>his tenga was received from the gasoline station staff. When masha went to the gasoline station, the staff asked him if he knows tenga, and said if he wants to try, he can give it to him (and he really takes it)</i></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">More on the Tenga thing by Izumisano;</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>Apparently his regular gas station guy gave him one set a couple of years back, and said it's great, try it. He didn't but announced it on radio and put the set up as one of the write-in presents for listeners. There was a picture of it on the radio site many years back. If I remember correctly it was only much later that he tried it at the recommendation of his friend. The english version of the jp tenga site (I mean xx.co.jp and not the european site) has an interview some months back with Masha's best friend vouching for its awesomeness (it's still there - back number Voice section).</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>Quote from: Lily Franky</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>I had my preconceptions .... before I used it ..... <b>But when I gave one to a friend he told me how great it was, so I gave it a try ....</b></i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Lily Franky? How honest! And highlighted, his friend I assume is Masha? Oh my god! Oooh la la!</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><i>Of course there was also the famous declaration on radio back in March (?) 2009 which started with a proud "I have something very automatic and something very manual at home". The first one was his 2 pet iRobots and the second one was that something that allows him to fantasize he's dating Rio as he watches her. </i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />

He said he would also practise guitar quietly during the lesson, for this part i am not sure whether i get it right, but it seems he would put strings on utensils(?)/plates (?) to practise tehcnique (finger).

Someone was very close to Masha, close enough to see him sweating in a live and said that during Gang the inside of her head just went white... Someone's asking what Masha eats to get so much energy. Her friend said "Maybe something magical", and Masha replied that it's more about the muscles. He exercises a lot normally. Someone asked Masha what kind of manga he likes and apparently he doesn't look at the covers of the manga so he has no idea what the titles are. he liked Crows. Now he's talking about the magazines he buys, since he prefers them over tankobon. He reads Young King. And somehow he memorizes what happens in all the weekly magazines even though he doesn't even know their titles And he has to look for manga according to the art since he doesn't know the titles when he buys tankobon. Someone asked when Masha became so good at speaking, and he said that he practiced a lot in the beginning of his radio career, and listened to recordings of his show again and again, looking for mistakes. He said that he's never thought that he's a good speaker, and he talked about when he was asked to walk home together by kids in kindergarten he was so embarrassed that he went home by himself crying. And he never talked to girls in middle school. </i></div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;">Really so shy? What happened in between that made him into the man that tells his listeners everything? Well, almost everything. He can tell you his exercise habits, his obsession with cleanliness, how he folds his underwear and even his toilet habits bur he will never ever tell you who he is dating.

First, it only took him 5 minutes to walk from his home to the company. Second, it only had oral interview, no writing test. Third, the company would pay the driving license fee for its employee. Masha said after the training he was assigned to Sales department. He was asked to go to the customers' offices and introduced the products to them. But he found it very difficult to do this, so later on what he actually did was leaving his business card and catalogue to the reception and then left After he "finished" his mission, he would drive the company car to pier and slept</i></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />

And Sou-chan commented that it was surprising to see him go, and that he hasn't seen him receiving an award with such formal attire, and Masha replied that he was nervous! Talk about Team Amuse and those spots in the lines; Masha was saying that someone like him or Kuwata-san would probably get pushed back to the second or third line by new powers like Haruma or Takeru... They mentioned that they look on Wikipedia sometimes and there're lots of mistakes, and Masha commented that he's become friends with random people and stuff. A person who went to the concert with her three sons said that her son said that he wanted to grow his hair long after watching Ryomaden, and that he enjoyed the concert very much! Another fan, a 19-year-old who was on the subway listening to Masha music, saw a couple who was making out and found it unpleasant, but then saw that the guy was holding a ribbon from Masha's concert! She thinks that his concerts bring people together. </i>Discussions on favourite books and Masha said<i> he likes manga and magazines and specialized magazines.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Specialised magazine?? And he goes to Wkipedia? Does he log in and change the wrong facts? Does he come HERE?<br />

All I can say is, the hair looked familiar, the shirt was groovy, he looked tired and that wasprobably because his super tight pants was cutting off his oxygen supply.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977354211320771460.post-61679823016455517232011-12-05T12:22:00.000+08:002011-12-05T12:22:45.100+08:00[CM] Toshiba Regza "Regza Tablet-The future in it's hand" [04.12.2011]<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1180.photobucket.com/albums/x416/funnlim/?action=view&current=Capture-6.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x416/funnlim/th_Capture-6.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I think Masha is now a probably spokesperson for all things Toshiba Regza, now it is the Regza Tablet. Can it fight Ipad? Not sure. Surprisingly Ipad 2 is cheaper than I expected, because I always expect the fruit company's stuff to be always overpriced but for once it is something I want to buy and could afford. But one thing is for sure; Toshiba knows how to make Masha look really cool and really good. The character is called Lupin. The magician? The thief? Love the background music by the way. I wonder... new song or just random song?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">PREVIOUSLY ON 25.11.2011</span></b></div><br />
I just got the guitar picks which is sold at the Saitama concerts and I originally wanted to add that into the non-BROS contest <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2011/11/special-fuku-giveaway-lucky-draw.html">Fuku Giveaway Contest </a> which is still open by the way but then I thought why not just put up another small one, this time a giveaway rather than strictly a contest. I also got my hands on those golden ribbons that you can only get in the concert hall (which I didn't get the last time), all thanks to a friend who was in the thick of the action and so I will give away 1 very long We're Bros Tour 2011 golden ribbon. <strike>Give me some time to set this up, take some pictures.</strike> This one I will open to all who has never been to his concert before. In fact even if you've been to his concert you may be too far to even get that elusive golden ribbon that I was once very obsessed about and now that I have them in my hands, I am obsessing over again. I swear I will one day sit close enough to get those ribbons! I swear!!!!<br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">CONTEST DETAILS</span></b><br />
I am offering all postage paid free gifts to ONE winner as follows:-<br />
<br />
Guitar pick 1 set and 1 very awesome golden ribbon that you can only hope to catch in his concerts, this one is <a href="http://all-about-masha.blogspot.com/2010/10/news-were-bros-tour-2011.html">We're BROS Tour 2011</a> which just ended very recently. One note though; ribbon looks a bit squashed but still awesome.</div><br />
