Poco a Poco is music built on the feeling that
something always sounds before meaning arrives.
The sound of turning pages.
A rhythm the body reacts to.
A groove that reaches you before understanding does.
The title Poco a Poco "little by little"
is not a phrase meant to praise effort or progress.
It names the rhythm of knowing you are still moving forward,
even while carrying doubt, desire, and hesitation.
Within its simple structure and Western lyrical tone,
the philosophy of Kneeking Records lives quietly
shaped by years of reading, traveling the world,
and learning sound through the body.
This is not music you understand first.
Your body knows it before you do.
Kneeking Records is an independent music label that transforms 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, he has been reading Japanese dictionaries page by page writing, reflecting, and sharing words every single day. In 2025, those accumulated words and rhythms began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey continues to this day, growing quietly and steadily, with each new word adding another layer to its living archive. Kneeking Records moves freely across genres Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times even Punk Rock always in pursuit of sounds that feel good to the ear. Through the rhythm of language and the intersection of calligraphy and voice, the label delivers music shaped by a distinctly personal sensibility. Before words become meaning, they already have sound. Before sound is explained, it reaches the heart. Trusting that moment, Kneeking Records keeps turning pages and keeps letting the music speak.
