Release Announcement: "A Friend Is a Light"

Yoshihiro Sato-word lover and lifelong traveler through dictionaries-
has released a brand-new English song titled "A Friend Is a Light",
inspired by the layered meanings of the word "friend" as defined in Japan's most iconic dictionaries: Shinmeikai, Meikyo, and Kojien.

Rooted in definitions such as
"someone with whom your heart resonates,"
"a companion who shares your ideals,"
"a fellow traveler," and
"books or haiku as lifelong companions,"
this piece gently weaves the many forms of friendship into poetic English lyrics.

Set to a soft yet soul-stirring reggae melody,
the song captures the quiet strength and warmth at the heart of what it means to be a true friend.

Artist Profile

  • kneeking Records

    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.
