Free Ashura is a song that portrays the anguish of burning suffering, shame, beauty, sin, and the relentless longing for freedom.
Even after falling onto the path of Asura, it depicts a human spirit that laughs at its own fate and still strives to let its flower bloom within the flames, expressed through poetic language and a powerful, expansive sound.
Carrying hell, sin, and loneliness alike, yet continuing to move forward this work transforms words born from the "Dictionary Journey" and the spirit of calligraphy into music, marking a new signature piece 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.
