"Sakki Tatsu Shishi (The Lion on the Edge of Violence)"
is a musical work rooted in the Dictionary Journey based on the
seventh edition of Kōjien, drawing from the entries spanning
"rising hostility" to "lion."
From these words emerge reflections on justice, silence, anger,
and the reason human beings continue to face forward
quietly translated into sound.
This piece neither judges nor provokes,
nor does it rush toward conclusions.
It lets emotions breathe as they are
within a hell that has both heights and depths.
Kneeking Records is a label that expresses the journey through dictionaries in music. Founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, dictionary traveler, and former world kickboxing champion. Since 2013, he has read, written, and shared words almost every day. In 2025, he began transforming these works into music. The journey continues to grow. The sound spans reggae, j-pop, r&b, soul, house, gospel, funk, ska, and sometimes punk rock. It values the rhythm of language and creates music that feels natural and refined. Each piece is inspired by calligraphy and shaped into sound.
