basō and reo shimotani's second work, 'blu*log', following the release of ``slide'' released in October last year, is his own memorandum that records basō's vague despair and anguish.
Basō, who is the vocalist in this work, is actively working on music activities, such as releasing a remix of "T.e.a.R" co-written with reo shimotani released last year in January of this year (2026). In addition, reo shimotani, who serves as the composer, also worked on the artwork for this work, and in addition to the composer and artwork for the previous work "slide", he also worked on the direction of the music video, demonstrating his talent to no end.
The content that basō conveys in this work is based on the message that "people live with despair''. How did Basō, who was once said to be "not human", trace his path to growth? It is certain that this work plays a very important role in talking about this. What will the audience think when they hear those words, and how will his fellow countrymen who feel the same way as him perceive the cold yet warm vibes of this work? There is no doubt that the production of this work will be positioned as a turning point in their future activities.
