“Like”—it’s not just gentle or kind
It’s the pull you feel deep inside
No warning, no reason why—
Just a spark that makes your soul fly
A color in the world so wide
One you can’t unsee or hide
You hold it close, though mocked or blamed
Because your heart already claimed
I like it, I feel it, I breathe it each day
No rules can tell me to walk away
From tea’s soft steam to ink on a page
I live my truth, not in a cage
Yes, I still choose this word again—
“Like” is my heart’s true name
It’s a noble flame, yet shadows fall—
When want becomes a reckless call
Obsession knocks without a sound
Tearing lines that once were bound
Sometimes it wears a hungry face
A lust too raw for love or grace
Still, even in that twisted form
It’s real. It’s human. It’s warm
I like it, I need it, I won’t pretend
This truth I carry won’t ever bend
From quiet love to raging fire
My soul dances with desire
Yes, I still choose this word again—
“Like” is my heart’s true name
Not always pure, not always right
But honest in both day and night
And that’s enough to write again—
To pick this word with open pen

The Name is Like
kneeking Records
"The Name is Like" is a poetic declaration that reimagines the word "like" as the true name of one's heart.
Sometimes, we're drawn to something for no reason
a person, a moment, a piece of art, or even the steam rising from tea.
There's no logic. No defense. Just a pull.
And in that pull, a name quietly forms.
This poem captures both the purity and the danger of "like."
It acknowledges desire, longing, and obsession
but also celebrates honesty in the face of judgment.
"Like" isn't just a feeling.
It's a name your heart has chosen.
And this work is an ode to the courage it takes to answer to that name
again and again.
Artist Profile
kneeking Records
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that translates The Dictionary Journey into sound. The label was founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, a lifelong dictionary traveler, and a former kickboxing world champion. Since 2013, Yoshihiro has been reading dictionaries one page at a time writing, reflecting, and quietly documenting each newly discovered word. In 2025, these accumulated records began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey is an ongoing exploration. With each passing day, new words are encountered, and their traces continue to grow steadily and without end. Kneeking Records spans a wide range of genres, including Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times, Punk Rock. While honoring the natural rhythm of language, the label pursues sound that is both refined and deeply listenable transforming the voice descending from calligraphy into music. That is the sound of Kneeking Records.
