"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 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.
