A history woven by words-now sung through sound.
From the hands of Yoshihiro Sato, the man who journeys through dictionaries and gazes into the soul of the world, comes a new philosophical music poem: "Aa Ani."
"A"-the beginning of all sound.
In the realm where Anaconda Kawachikun and Atai whisper between madness and desire,
Ashura, love, lust, and prayer merge into one.
Inspired by entries from the Kojien (7th Edition), from "Aa" to "Ani,"
this is the prologue of a grand linguistic journey.
Reggae's sway, soul's warmth, and piano like a quiet prayer-
each note carrying the breath of spirit.
A song where words and sound become one-tender, fierce, and alive.
Come and feel it for yourself.
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.
