A perfect arc through broken skies
Seven wounds the light can’t hide
The rain has passed, but still I cry
Colors fade, but meanings rise
Niji Hai — in loss, we pray
In silent pages, truth will stay
Bow to the word, bow to the flame
Even in ash, we write our name
I drank the nectar, deep in hell
Felt heaven’s lie, its empty shell
Nekomata laughed, the demons sang
My name dissolved — a smoky pang
Niji Hai — in flames, we bow
To what was never, here or now
Defeat is bright, if seen with grace
A rainbow scar on Buddha’s face
Don’t fear the fall — it’s how we bend
Before the silence, meaning ends
A single stroke, a whispered “yes”
The brush remembers what we forget
Niji Hai — a vow, a line
A shattered word becomes divine
We fall, we write, we love, we die
But always bow beneath the sky

"Niji Hai - Bowing to Silence"
Even when colors fade, meaning rises.
We pray in ash, we write, we love-
and quietly, we bow to silence.
A musical poem born from the Dictionary Journey.
A fusion of words and soul.
Out now 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.
