Just nine months after his previous album, *The One-Sock Hero*.
Brian Shinsekai's new album, *B1*, is a work that takes a step back from chasing dreams and ideals to reexamine his current self and reality.

As he's grown older little by little and continued to create music as part of his daily life, his dreams and ideals have gradually shifted toward reality. How should he live from here on out, while accepting his own limitations and the things he cannot change? Struggling with depression, he confronts this question. Compounded by a sense of social stagnation and major changes in his personal life, this album-created in the midst of that turmoil-is more introspective than ever before and carries a quiet tension.

Rather than offering answers, he gives up and simply records his current state.
"B1" is an album like that.

Alongside his solo work, Brian Shinsekai serves as the keyboardist for OKAMOTO'S, works as a music producer for PIGGS and Lafuzin, and composes and arranges songs for artists such as SUPER EIGHT. This album represents the convergence of his diverse musical activities at a single point in time and will be developed as a series moving forward.
