"Komachi of False Charges" - Kneeking Records
Innocent of crime, yet guilty of beauty
a requiem woven with laughter and prayer.
"The heart's own hell is the hardest to escape."
Even in a world tainted by false accusations,
words keep burning still.
The courtesan in crimson smiles like cherry blossoms,
dancing within the cage of meaning.
Her gentle smile redeems all words.
Born along the "Dictionary Journey"
between the chapters U and E of Kojien Seventh Edition,
this piece marks the most graceful bloom
of Guwashi's poetic universe.
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.
