"Three Samurai" is a Japanese-style rock anthem born from the definitions of dictionaries.
It portrays three samurai, each with their own spirit, yet united under one path Bushido.
Words become blades, cutting through the age, carving open the future.
Reinterpreting the spirit Inazo Nitobe once shared with the world in Bushido: The Soul of Japan, this song brings that philosophy into the present.
It asks not only the Japanese, but everyone who listens:
"Whom will you protect, and whom will you strike?"
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.
