Eternal time continues to turn quietly, yet with certainty.
"Geijutsuteki na Kou)" is a musical work born from The Dictionary Journey,
a practice of reading and writing through the Kōjien, 7th Edition, word by word.
This piece connects the entries surrounding "art" and "kalpa" into a single musical flow.
A kalpa is a unit of time so vast it exceeds human imagination.
It signifies a cycle that embraces
the birth and extinction of the universe,
as well as human life and daily activity.
Set against this sense of boundless time,
the track expresses these ideas without heaviness,
carried instead by an uplifting hip hop and rasta-inspired groove.
Art endures, while life is brief.
Still, people continue writing words, making sound, turning pages.
"Geijutsuteki na Kou" captures
a single breath of "now,"
lived within the infinity of time.
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.
