善と悪が 名を持たぬまま
息をひそめている
正しさはいつも
きれいな言葉を選ぶ
疑いを削ぎ落とし
刃だけを磨いて
祝福の声に包まれて
誰かが落ちていく
その瞬間
拍手は一段と揃う
裁くためじゃない
秩序を保つためだと
目を伏せたまま
この上ないサタン
最も善い顔をした敵対者
光の中心で
影を量る者
この上ないサタン
名を呼ばれぬ正義の代行者
救いの数だけ
罪が増えていく
黄金時代は いつも過去
語られるたび
都合よく
静かに磨かれて
持続の名の下
捨てられる呼吸
砂の上に
また塔が建つ
誰かを守るため
誰かを越える
その選別を 愛と呼ぶのなら
この上ないサタン
敵と決めた瞬間に
物語は
一つに収束する
この上ないサタン
わざわいの星の下で
静かに
帳尻を合わせる者
永遠の罰も
永遠の祝福も
慣れてしまえば
同じ温度だ
善と悪の
境界線に
名前を付けた
ただそれだけのこと
この上ないサタン
裁く神の足元で
今日も 秤を持つ影
この上ないサタン
嫌われる役を引き受けた
世界が
回り続けるために
正義は今日も
無傷で眠る
夢の番をするのは
この上ないサタン

Konoue nai Satan ~ Sata Kono ~
kneeking Records
The Finest Satan was born from a personal project known as
the dictionary journey, based on the seventh edition of Kojien,
Japan's most authoritative Japanese dictionary.
This song draws directly from the entries spanning
"satan" to "the finest," and the reflections that emerged along the way.
By tracing definitions, etymologies, and usages,
a deeper question surfaced:
where exactly is the boundary between good and evil,
justice and judgment?
Here, Satan is not portrayed as a simple symbol of evil.
Rather, he appears as a structure
something historically required for "righteousness"
to define and justify itself.
Saving someone often means excluding someone else.
Under the name of order, breath is quietly taken away.
Behind beautifully worded decisions,
there always stands a presence in the shadows.
This work does not condemn Satan.
Nor does it affirm justice.
Starting from Kojien
a collection of language striving for neutrality
the song traces the outlines of value systems
humans have continuously constructed.
Not the one who is judged,
but the one who accepts the role
that allows judgment to function
that is the Satan depicted in this song.
That is
The Finest Satan.
Artist Profile
kneeking Records
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that transforms 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, he has been reading Japanese dictionaries page by page writing, reflecting, and sharing words every single day. In 2025, those accumulated words and rhythms began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey continues to this day, growing quietly and steadily, with each new word adding another layer to its living archive. Kneeking Records moves freely across genres Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times even Punk Rock always in pursuit of sounds that feel good to the ear. Through the rhythm of language and the intersection of calligraphy and voice, the label delivers music shaped by a distinctly personal sensibility. Before words become meaning, they already have sound. Before sound is explained, it reaches the heart. Trusting that moment, Kneeking Records keeps turning pages and keeps letting the music speak.
