words are still alive
and time keeps turning
artistic kalpa is a musical work connecting art and kalpa
drawn from a long term dictionary journey through kojien seventh edition
within endless cycles of time
people struggle love work laugh and keep moving forward
this song does not deny any of it
nor does it become heavy
instead it lets those moments flow
on a warm hip hop and rasta rhythm
art lasts long
life is short
still we turn the page and live this moment
artistic kalpa is a record of that ongoing breath
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.
