The sound of turning pages
A night holding its breath
Before meaning arrives
Fact
What remains of God, handed down
Things just happen, things just are
Events without disguise
Knocking on my chest
Before we give righteousness a name
Before comfort settles in
I pause
And feel it myself
Facts feel cold
Yet somehow warm
Heavier than lies
Lighter than prayer
Still I straighten my back
Step into the next round
I walk on
Until it ends
I walk on
Until it ends
Magnets pull, needles pierce
Drawn close, wanting to wound
Some souls wander
Some stand, perfectly still
I won’t wear the face
Of borrowed understanding
Nothing outruns experience
Except experience itself
Facts feel cold
Yet somehow warm
Heavier than lies
Lighter than prayer
There are sinking tides
There are rising ones
I hold them both
And keep walking
I hold them both
And keep walking
Words like blades
Can end a life
Still I trust
The smallest light in nature
Facts pass through
Today’s streets
Smiling as they go
I bend down
And pick them up
One by one
Master and disciple
Bound across three lives
The thread continues
Quietly
Strong
And gentle

Magnetic Fact ~ Jiji Jan ~
kneeking Records
Magnetic Fact is a song shaped from a continuous journey through Kōjien, 7th Edition,
drawing on dictionary entries ranging from "Fact" to "Jantar Mantar."
The definitions themselves, along with the thoughts and emotions that arose from them,
are woven together into a single flow.
Rather than telling a story, the song traces a movement
from words to experience, from meaning to sensation.
It listens closely to what exists before judgment,
and lets those fragments of reality resonate as sound.
Magnetic Fact stands at the point where language ends
and lived experience begins.
Artist Profile
kneeking Records
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.
