Apart from composing drama OST, Fukuyama is best known for his singing career in Japan. He has 24 singles and 10 studio albums. Squall, Sakura Zaka, Niji are few of the songs that have made particular oustanding marks in Masaharu's career. Good night was his breakout single which gained a lot more audiences to his music because of its tie-up with a J-drama.
Fukuyama mostly composes and writes lyrics of the songs in his albums. In a recent interview he said "In music, if you are producing your own songs, you will need to be working alone most of the time. Composing, recording, pre-production, re-arrangement, slowly building up your song bit by bit, rebuilding as you finish it and then doing the same for each song one after another. It’s a very time-consuming process whichever way you look at it. "

喧嘩した
バラの花束 気取ったセリフ
笑わせた
面影が夢のように
切なくなる夜
君を 君を感じてる
遠く 遠く離れているから
君が 君が 君が愛しくて
壊れた時計 消えた小猫
泣いていた
紺色のシャツ ほどいた髪
抱きしめた
溢れ出すぬくもりを
繁いでいく夜
ふたり 今は離れているけど
君を 君を感じてる
ふたり 今は離れているから
君が 君が 君が愛しくて
君の瞳 君のやさしさを
君の笑顔 君の空
君の涙 君の憧れを
ずっと ずっと ずっと感じてる
The lyrics of 福山雅治's song "Dear" reflect the emotions felt by a man who is separated from his lover. The song is featured in his album, "The Best Bang!!", which was released in 1998. From the very first line, "Mauyami no denwa ame no doraibu" (Midnight phone call, rainy drive), it is clear that the man is reminiscing about past memories with his lover, particularly the good and bad times they shared.
As the song progresses, the man talks about the moments that he cherishes, the moments that were painful, and the moments that gave him hope. The melancholic aura of the song is amplified by the lyrics "Tsukiakari ga shizuka ni tsutsumikonde / Mado kara mieta yoru" (The moonlight quietly envelops / The night, visible from the window). Despite being far away from his lover, the man feels a sense of closeness, as if his lover is with him. The lyrics "Kimi wo kimi wo kanjiteiru / Tooku tooku hanareteiru keredo" (I feel you, I feel you, Though we are far, far away) beautifully convey the man's unrelenting passion for his lover.
Overall, the song "Dear" is a poignant display of love, heartbreak, and hope. It evokes the emotions of anyone who has been separated from someone they love and holds onto the memories of their relationship.
