"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 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.
