Poco a Poco is a song shaped from the sensation that
the body reacts before meaning or logic can catch up.
A rhythm like the sound of turning pages.
A groove that begins to move before thought arrives.
Words can follow later.
The phrase Poco a Poco "little by little"
is not a slogan meant to praise achievement.
It expresses the feeling of moving forward nonetheless,
while carrying doubt, desire, and hesitation.
That quiet, steady stride becomes the tempo of the song.
Within its simple structure,
the rhythm of the Japanese language intersects with a Western groove,
carrying the philosophy unique to Kneeking Records
shaped by years of reading dictionaries and traveling the world.
This is music to be felt
before it is thought.
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.
