"Hari-Hibari (Needle Lark)" - Kneeking Records
Where calligraphy, poetry, and sound become one.
To write spring without refilling the ink in that difficulty, a solitary spirit takes flight.
The skylark's song, it is said, goes:
"Give a shō, take two to profit, profit."
In its rhythm, a glimmer of folk humor and philosophy shines through.
Beauty stands proud; faults remain small.
A poet's gaze sharpens the world, drifting gently as a quiet melody.
Kneeking Records presents a fusion of wisdom and lyricism
a breath of calligraphy turned into the sound of life itself.
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.
