"Onko Chishin" is an ancient Japanese concept that means "to learn from the past in order to create the new."
Rather than mere nostalgia, the song explores a deeper truth: the past is not a weight, but a flame.
A flame that lights the way forward.
"Not to repeat-but to transcend."
"Not to return-but to ascend."
With richly layered lyrics and a majestic soundscape, this piece bridges time-honoring ancient wisdom while boldly shaping tomorrow.
A hymn for seekers, for builders, for anyone standing on the shoulders of giants and daring to reach beyond.
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.
