"Kara Kise - From Crow to Miracle -" is a song shaped from the February 2024 chapter of The Dictionary Journey,
a path that traces the transformation from karasu (crow) to kiseki (miracle).
The stillness before dawn,
the lingering warmth of ink,
the flame borne by Garuda across the sky,
and the devotion within Yan Zhenqing's single stroke-
these moments allow the world of calligraphy and the pages of the dictionary to overlap,
revealing the light that rises from within a single black line.
A miracle is not merely prayer;
it lives in the hand that carves the "now."
Black is not darkness-it is the color of beginnings.
This conviction is carried quietly through the music.
Born from the daily act of reading the dictionary,
copying its words,
and raising each character through calligraphy,
the song stands as a new piece of "dictionary poetry"
unique to Kneeking Records.
May you feel the quiet heat beneath the silence,
and the power held in one simple stroke
to change the world.
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that transforms 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, he has been reading Japanese dictionaries page by page writing, reflecting, and sharing words every single day. In 2025, those accumulated words and rhythms began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey continues to this day, growing quietly and steadily, with each new word adding another layer to its living archive. Kneeking Records moves freely across genres Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times even Punk Rock always in pursuit of sounds that feel good to the ear. Through the rhythm of language and the intersection of calligraphy and voice, the label delivers music shaped by a distinctly personal sensibility. Before words become meaning, they already have sound. Before sound is explained, it reaches the heart. Trusting that moment, Kneeking Records keeps turning pages and keeps letting the music speak.
