We resum to next-to-leading order the distribution in the ratio of the invariant hadron mass m{sub X} to the total hadron energy E{sub X} and the distribution in m{sub X} in the semileptonic decays B{yields}X{sub u}l{nu}. By expanding our formulas, we obtain the coefficients of all the infrared logarithms at O({alpha}{sub S}{sup 2}) and of the leading ones at O({alpha}{sub S}{sup 3}). We explicitly show that the relation between these semileptonic spectra and the photon spectrum in the radiative decay B{yields}X{sub s}{gamma} is not a purely short-distance one. There are long-distance effects in the semileptonic spectra which are not completely factorized by the structure function as measured in the radiative decay and have to be modeled in some way.
