From kin to kei
the weight of words shifts, tilting quietly in the dark.
Between the glint of gold and the shadow of a kingdom-toppling beauty,
this track carves out the trembling honesty that lives inside us all.
Brush lines in ancient seal script quiver,
Kūkai's sacred silence begins to sing,
and hidden gemstones sleep beneath the grassroots.
The countless words gathered through a long journey of dictionaries
ignite into a single flame of story as the beat begins to rise.
Regret, dignity, esoteric rites, gravure glamour,
the stubborn will of Yu Gong moving mountains
images that were never meant to meet
now collide on the same page,
synching like kotodama in a shifting rhythm
to reveal a brand-new landscape.
Gold gleams.
A beauty turns her head.
A nation tilts.
And words keep moving forward.
Holding all of this together this is the song that was born.
Kneeking Records is a label that expresses the journey through dictionaries in music. Founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, dictionary traveler, and former world kickboxing champion. Since 2013, he has read, written, and shared words almost every day. In 2025, he began transforming these works into music. The journey continues to grow. The sound spans reggae, j-pop, r&b, soul, house, gospel, funk, ska, and sometimes punk rock. It values the rhythm of language and creates music that feels natural and refined. Each piece is inspired by calligraphy and shaped into sound.
