"Don't Hate the Hand" is a song rooted in the teaching of Confucius:
"Hate the sin, not the person."
It quietly reflects on the power and the danger of words, expression, and art.

To criticize an action is not the same as denying a human being,
nor is it the same as rejecting everything that person has created.
Words and judgments spoken in the name of justice
can sometimes destroy prayer, order, and faith.

The image of a bell cracked by a brush in this song
is not an act of violence,
but a metaphor for the influence carried by expression itself.
Still, the brush is not laid down,
and the broken bell does not fall completely silent.

"Don't Hate the Hand" is not a song that expands hatred.
It entrusts the difficulty and the dignity of choosing not to hate
to the space between sound and words.

Artist Profile

  • kneeking Records

    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.
