From Mirage to Kalashnikov
A trembling heat haze at dusk.
A mayfly flickering through its brief existence.
Within that fragile scene,
the cold silhouette of a Kalashnikov quietly emerges.
Whispers lingering in an old teahouse,
haze in spring and mist in autumn
as the seasons drift,
the meaning of life appears only in moments that waver.
From Mirage to Kalashnikov.
Through this stark and beautiful contrast,
the song explores the thin boundary between illusion and reality,
between fragility and force.
A work where stillness and tension coexist
a new philosophical requiem from 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.
