Needle Lark Hari~Hiba (The Needle Lark)
Kneeking Records
A poetic piece where the scent of ink meets the wind of spring.
Inspired by the original Japanese poem "HariHibari(Hari Hiba)",
it explores the light and growth that dwell within imperfection.
From the passion of Barcelona to the Great Wall of China and the leaning Tower of Pisa
symbols of the world's heritage
a solitary bird lifts a single needle toward the sky,
embodying the creative spirit that pierces through stillness.
From his lifelong "Dictionary Journey,"
Sato Yoshihiro transcends the boundary between words and music
in this philosophical reggae song.
Released in 2025 by 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.
