A is the first breath, the open gate
A resting tongue, a voice of fate
A love that burns, a vow unspoken
In “Ai” we live, in silence broken
I met a girl with chains on her feet
I asked, “What’s that sacred heat?”
She laughed and cried, “This is me—
A song of flesh and deity”
Aa Ani—where the spirit hides
In every syllable, the soul resides
From “A” to Ashura flame
Even madness speaks a name
Aa Ani—word and wound
From earth to ink, love blooms
A monk once wrote, “No birth, no end”
But I still ache and need a friend
Red bats swing, the blue fades fast
Meanings shift, but sound will last
She whispered low, “Preach with dirty feet”
In brothel smoke, truth repeats
Love is lust, and lust is prayer
All the gods are hiding somewhere
Anaconda said with beer in hand
“Suffering? Babe, supply and demand”
Atai smiled with wicked grace
“Even sinners have their place”
Aa Ani—where desire begins
From the tongue to trembling skin
A myth, a mess, a mother’s sigh
The first word never dies
Aa Ani—the soul in play
We’re just letters trying to stay
Say it soft—Aa…
Say it true—Ani…
Before the word
We were already

Aa Ani
kneeking Records
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.
