"Kin Kei Cipher" was born from a journey through words
a path where every definition, every stroke of ink,
quietly revealed something raw inside the self.
This track embraces everything usually hidden in the shadows:
the weight of desire, frustration, pride,
and the moment a person tilts, even slightly, off center.
No posturing, no armor just truth spoken over a beat.
From the trembling lines of tensho calligraphy,
to Kūkai's silent margins,
to the grassroots stones that still shine beneath the dirt
all the fragments Yo-chan has met in his daily Dictionary Journey
flowed together and found their rhythm here.
This song carries one simple intention:
to move forward without pretending,
to let the imperfect self breathe,
and to step into a new page with honesty.
"Kin Kei Cipher"
an unfiltered voice, a steady flame,
and the sound of a soul choosing its own angle.
Kneeking Records is an independent music label devoted to capturing the soul of the Dictionary Journey through sound. Founded by Yoshihiro Sato a calligrapher, language pilgrim, and former world kickboxing champion the label weaves together words, rhythm, and voice to create a truly distinctive musical world. Since 2013, Sato has been reading Japanese dictionaries one page at a time, drawing inspiration from each definition to craft poetry, music, and calligraphy. This ongoing project, known as Jisho no Tabi (Dictionary Journey), continues to evolve with every passing day.
