「あ」は始めの一歩 最初の言葉
愛は語らない誓い 燃えるような想い
足枷をつけた少女に尋ねた
「その聖なる火は何？」
彼女は笑い そして泣いた
「This is me」
Aa Ani
魂が隠れている場所
一つひとつの言葉に
Aa ani
言霊が宿る
「あ」からアニミズム
ある僧は言った。
「生まれも終わりもない」
それでも僕は 痛みを感じる
誰かと一緒に笑い合いたい
彼女はささやいた
「I speak with my feet still dirty」
世界を覆う 情熱や混乱
すぐに消える 平穏と秩序
意味は変わっても 言葉の声は残る
ほろ酔いの男が言った
「苦痛と快楽は紙一重」
彼女は笑った
「There’s a place for sinners, too」
Aa Ani
すべての欲望 愛のはじまり
音は肌を震わせる
Aa Ani
魂が遊んでいる
We are just letters
Still trying not to disappear
Aa ani
言葉の前に
僕たちは自由だ
Aa ani
言霊が宿る
「あ」からアニミズム

Aa Ani ~ The First Step
kneeking Records
"Aa Ani" is a poetic journey through words and souls from "A" to animism.
Each word carries a spirit, a silent resonance of life itself.
In a world where a chained girl, a drunken man, and the narrator's voice intersect,
we search for meaning - just letters drifting toward freedom.
Born from The Dictionary Journey, a lifelong reading of the seventh edition of Kojien,
this work blends sound and language into a quiet, acoustic poetry of existence.
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.
