"Gonyo Gonyo Storytelling" is a piece born from The Dictionary Journey through Kōjien, 7th Edition, tracing the entries from kōdan to gonyo gonyo.
It weaves together the definitions, reflections, and emotions that emerged along the way into a single, continuous flow of sound.
This work listens closely to words before they settle into meaning
the murmurs, hesitations, and half-formed voices that exist just prior to clarity.
What remains is not a lecture, but a presence:
a quiet storytelling that moves, almost unintentionally,
from language into feeling.
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.
