From the very first "A" to the final "Only"-
the A-line of the dictionary journey is now complete.
The end of words is a quiet beginning.
In the soft sounds of Ohiraki and Kakurin-
we hear the closing of a chapter,
where Buddhism and Confucianism, life and death,
all find gentle rest.
What could not be spoken
has now become sound.
The souls etched in the dictionary
have begun to sing.
Listen closely-
and the next journey within you
may already be awakening.
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.
