<Comment from lyricist Pantobisco>
I wrote the lyrics for my beloved Baba Basuo, who I have been watching over since his birth, by putting myself in Basuo's shoes. The recommended way to listen to this song is to ride the Nishitetsu bus while imagining the lyrics. Give it a try. Bababa! Bababa! Baba Basuo!

There will also be a talk show with Pantobisco and an exhibition of original wrapped buses!

At the venue, the second Baba Baso original wrapping bus will be on display,
