In old tea houses, shadows still remain
A fleeting flame, a mayfly in the rain
A life of hours — was it chance or fate?
Brief as a spark, it fades before our gaze
A feast means nothing if you never taste
The truth lies hidden where the learning waits
From Mirage to Kalashnikov
Illusions rise, the rifles talk
So faint, so frail, they drift away
Phantoms seen, then shadows fade
♪♪♪
The coin of fiction, a woven dream
God appears when reason leaves the scene
Spring brings haze, and autumn mist
Meaning dwells in what exists
A gift can heal, a gift can scar
The wound reveals what truths there are
In God’s own death, what do we find?
Only humans left behind
From Mirage to Kalashnikov
Dreams undone by the barrel’s maw
It counts no lives, devours the night—
Cold steel swallows every light

From Mirage to Kalashnikov
A trembling heat haze at dusk.
A mayfly flickering through its brief existence.
Within that fragile scene,
the cold silhouette of a Kalashnikov quietly emerges.
Whispers lingering in an old teahouse,
haze in spring and mist in autumn
as the seasons drift,
the meaning of life appears only in moments that waver.
From Mirage to Kalashnikov.
Through this stark and beautiful contrast,
the song explores the thin boundary between illusion and reality,
between fragility and force.
A work where stillness and tension coexist
a new philosophical requiem from Kneeking Records.
Artist Profile
kneeking Records
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.
