I’ll Teach You How To Pull Off The Perfect Crime Part 2 ~The Inugami Chapter~ (English Translation)

完全犯罪伝授します弐〜犬神篇〜 Music/Lyrics: Joruzin Video: unrefle Vocals: GUMI, Kagamine Len

"The continuation to “I’ll Teach You How To Pull Off The Perfect Crime”.

His outer face is that of the eccentric who runs the used bookshop, his inner face is that of a master missionary of perfect crimes, a one Sano Shougai. Until now, all the perfect crimes he’s told people have been executed flawlessly, each and every time. His high intelligence could leave the police far outmatched. But in this case, for the first time, he learns of the existence of someone whose IQ could match, no, surpass his own.

“The Man Who Will Help Execute The Perfect Crime” VS “The Man Who Will Stop The Perfect Crime”

How will this case end?!"

-- original description

(extra translator's note: i stole parts of the translation from the vlyrics wiki translation of the first song in this series for continuity reasons, and linked where relevant. i hope op doesn't mind)

えぇ　そうですか　　つまり相続権の独占ですね 

Yes, I see. So you want to claim the inheritance to yourself.

遺産の全てをご子息に　それが為なら殺しも辞さない 

You want the inheritance to all be for your son, and you’re willing to go as far as to murder.

ではでは遺言と家系図を確認します 

Then I’ll confirm the facts about the will and the family tree.

財界巨頭の犬神家の創始者左兵衛が身罷った  彼の遺した遺言書に一族狼狽その内容は 

The founder of the Inugami Clan, renowned in the business world, Sahei Inugami, has kicked the bucket. The will he left behind has caused massive dismay in the family

一族以外の本筋の血の繋がりない生娘に遺産を全て譲渡する  ただし娘の配偶者には　 

In it, it says that the inheritance is to all go to a virgin girl who isn’t even directly related to the family That is to say, to the spouse of that girl, Tamayo

犬神左兵衛の孫にあたる「佐清」「佐武」「佐智」の三名中から選ぶこと  つまり珠世の愛を勝ちとったものが遺産を手に入れる  しかしご子息佐清は戦時に負った顔の傷　醜い姿に成りさがった 

Sahei Inugami has three grandchildren, Sukekiyo, Suketake and Suketomo that she will choose from In short, to win Tamayo’s love is to get the inheritance But your son Sukekiyo has become hideous as a result of injuries on his face from the war

愛されるはずもない  ならば「佐武」「佐智」2名を葬りその罪珠世に被せることで  佐清に遺産転がり込ませる 

She certainly won’t love him. If that’s the case, you will bury “Suketake” and “Suketomo” and pin the crime on Tamayo so that the inheritance will come into Sukekiyo’s hands.

つまりそういうことですね  一族身内の殺害計画 

So that’s what this is about, hm? A plan to murder members of your family…

思考　黙考　熟考　整いました  After much thought, meditation, and deliberation, I have it all arranged for you.

完全犯罪伝授します　お代は貴女の死因の決定権を小生が頂戴いたす  それでよろしいですね？ 完全犯罪伝授します　手段は電話でお伝えします  一族集まる月夜の晩に人の目ない部屋でおかけください  なになに私立探偵が雇われているですと？まあ捨て置いて問題はないでしょう 

I'll teach you how to pull off the perfect crime. The price is to let this humble one decide your cause of death Will that be okay with you? I'll teach you how to pull off the perfect crime. I’ll tell you everything over the phone. On the moonlit night when the whole family gathers, dial me in a room where no one can see you What’s that, a private investigator has been hired? Well, put that thought aside for now, it won’t be a problem.

「殺害の手引き」

“A Guide to Murder”

計画ポイント2つあり　「猟奇性」と「芸術性」  殺害現場に珠世の犯行を示唆する私物を残すことです 

This plan has two points: it will be “grotesque” and “artistic” You will leave personal items on the murder scenes to suggest that Tamayo is the culprit.

「犬神家に強い恨みを持った珠世が遺産目当てに犯行に及んだ」  そうです美しく殺してあげましょう

“Bearing a grudge against the Inugami family, aiming to get the inheritance, Tamayo resorted to crime.” That’s how it will be, let us murder them beautifully

 第一殺害タイトルは「菊人形頭衣替え」美しいですね　あぁあぁ美しいです  第二殺害タイトルは「琴線天幕吊し上げ」美しいですね　あぁあぁ美しいです 

The first murder case will be called, “A Change of Head for the Chrysanthemum Doll”, beautiful, ah, ah, so beautiful! The second murder case will be called, “A Decorative Curtain Hung by the Strings of the Koto”, beautiful, ah, ah, so beautiful!

計画に狂いが生じた？ 佐清だと信じた人物　全く別人  本物佐清　潜伏していたところを 

Has this plan sparked madness in you yet? It turns out the person you believed to be Sukekiyo is a completely different person The real Sukekiyo is hiding in wait 

例の私立探偵が発見  偽物佐清正体　犬神左兵衛の愛人の息子  全てをたちどころに見破った！？ 

That private detective has discovered where he is and the true identity of the fake Sukekiyo—he is the son of Inugami Sahei’s lover Has he seen through us?!

大丈夫です落ち着きなさい　若干計画変更します　偽物佐清この計画を知るもの生かしてはおけませんから　  第三殺害タイトルは「偽装すましの逆さ人」薬で眠らせ湖畔の浅瀬に頭から突き落とすのです  素晴らしいですね　全てが完璧です　あぁ美しい  それでは最後の仕上げに掛かりましょう　 

It’s alright, please calm down, we’ll just change the plan a little. The fake Sukekiyo knows your plans, so he cannot be left alive. So the third murder case will be called, “A Disguised Upside-Down Person”. You will drug him to sleep and push him head first into the shoals of the lake. So wonderful, it’s all so perfect, ah, it’s beautiful! Now let’s add the finishing touches

珠世の自室に青酸カリを忍ばせなさい  それではお渡していた死因書を開封なさい 

Do hide some cyanide in Tamayo’s room Then, please open the document I’ve given you with your cause of death

アリバイ工作で全ての犯行が可能だったのは珠世と貴女です  今から珠世にお茶を入れさせなさい　その中にもうひとつ用意した青酸カリを 入れて飲みなさい　 つまり「今」から「自室」で「服毒自殺」をするのです  全て珠世の犯行と見做され財産佐清転がり込むでしょう 

With the alibis you’ve made, the suspects will be Tamayo and you. Now let Tamayo pour you some tea that you laced with the same cyanide from before, and drink it. In other words, “now”, you must “kill yourself with poison” in “your room”. When Tamayo is considered the culprit, the estate will come into Sukekiyo’s hands, isn’t that right?

さあ受話器そのままで　やるのです 

Now, you will leave the phone aside and do it.

おやめなさい　全て貴女の犯行だと　解りました　お話を伺います  貴女をそそのかした人の 

Please stop this. I’ve figured out that this is all your doing. Could I ask to talk to the person who’s tempted you?

必ずアナタを突き止めます

I will definitely find you.

探偵風情！！

The likes of that detective…!

【新入荷・新本】

石川竜一『zk』（赤々舎、2022年）

325mm × 262mm. 208 pages. Hardcover.

価格：6,600円（税込）

/

「絶景のポリフォニー」から「zk」へ。人間のいまの流れと自然の在り方。

常に新たな表現の可能性に分け入る石川竜一の最新作「zk」は、石川が2014年に発表した「絶景のポリフォニー」を継ぐシリーズ。時間や場所を超えて徘徊し思考された、世界の流動する力と関係性を写し出します。

自己のコントロールを超える自然やノイズの現れ。受け入れ難いものに向き合い思い知らされるところから、写真を通して、その構造や自身の輪郭を見出そうとします。

ストリートに、国家に、宗教に、性に、歴史に、いまあるところに、いのちに、バグを内包しながら接続する「zk」。メディアとしての写真を考え、デジタルの、人間の、いまの流れと自然の在り方を捉えるものです。

「zkとは絶景、即ち不定形な景色によって視覚を通して全身体に影響する感情の高鳴りを表す記号だ。それは、景色と感情、外と内の関係を意味する。目に映った瞬間から訪れるその感情、カメラのシャッターを切った身体の反応、それを解釈する思考は、今このときまでのすべてを内包した自分自身だ。記号は文化だ。文化とは集団だ。集団とは運動だ。運動とは存在だ。存在とは意志だ。意志とはすべての外側だ」（写真集『zk』あとがきより抜粋）

i decided to write down the casts kanji! there’s some other name-based trivia in here too, but the main focus is just informing yall of what the kanji mean. i havent written down the WHOLE cast because that would take a while and i doubt they have many fans, but ive added the entire main cast + one or two characters below the cut.

there are some spoilers for 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2 beneath the cut!

--

Sara Chidouin: 千堂院 紗良 (Chidouin Sara) 千: Thousand 堂: Public chamber, hall 院: Institution, temple, mansion, school

紗: Gauze, gossamer 良: Good, pleasing, skilled

Jou “Joe” Tazuna:  田綱 丈 (Tazuna Jou) 田: Rice field, rice paddy 綱: Hawser, rope, cord, cable

丈: Length, measure, all (one has), merely

Joe’s name is kind of inconsistent in romanization because the kanji in his first name is pronounced “Jou,” but all of the in-game files refer to him as “Joe.” VGperson addressed this by having everyone call him Joe but having Miley call him Jou, since that’s technically his actual name.

Keiji Shinogi: 篠木 敬二 (Shinogi Keiji) 篠: Bamboo grass 木: Tree, wood

敬: Awe, respect, honor, revere 二: Two

A fun bit of trivia is that “Keiji” is also the Japanese word for “Detective,” albeit with different kanji (刑事 as opposed to 敬二).

Kanna Kizuchi: 木津池 神奈 (Kizuchi Kanna) 木: Tree, wood 津: Haven, port, harbor, ferry 池: Pond, cistern, pool, reservoir

神: Gods, mind, soul 奈: Nara, what? 

These are also the first two characters in “Kanagawa” which is a prefecture in Japan. Might be relevant, might be nothing?

Q-Taro Burgerberg: バーガーバーグ Q太郎 (Burgerberg Q-Taro) バーガーバーグ: This is just Burgerberg written out phonetically. Bāgābāgu. It’s written in katakana, which signifies it’s foreign.

Q: It's a Q. What do you want from me. 太: Plump, thick, big around 郎: Son

It should also be noted that 太郎 (Tarou / Taro) is considered a super boring name in Japan. 

There’s also a chance that “Q-taro” is a reference to Jotaro Kujo from JJBA. Apparently there’s an arc where he uses “Qtaro” as an alias? I got this bit from TVtropes so it might not be totally accurate.

There’s ALSO the added pun of it being a reference to barbeque. In the notes that have all the percentages, Q-taro is listed as “B.B Q太郎” in the Japanese version.

I think the takeaway you should be getting from this is that Q-taro’s name is fucking ridiculous.

Sou Hiyori: 日和 颯 (Hiyori Sou) 日和: Perfect weather. Individually, 日 (hi) means “Day,” or “Sun” and 和 (yori) means “Harmony” or “Peace.”

颯: Quick, suddenly. Sou is a pun on "Uso" which means "Lie" though.

Reko Yabusame: 八分雨 澪子 (Yabusame Reko) 八: Eight 分: Part, minute of time 雨: Rain

澪: Water route, shipping channel 子: Child. Also a common feminine ending for Japanese names. Think "Ette"

Reko’s name is romanized pretty inconsistently between “Reko” and “Reco”, but this kanji is pretty clearly “Reko.”

Nao Egokoro: 絵心 菜緒 (Egokoro Nao) 絵心: Artistic taste, desire to paint. Individually, 絵 (e) means “Picture, drawing, painting, sketch” and 心 (gokoro) means “Heart” or “Spirit”

菜: Vegetable, greens 緒: Beginning, inception, cord, strap

Kai Satou: 佐藤 戒 (Satou Kai) 佐: Assistant, help 藤: Wisteria

戒: Commandment

A worthwhile note is the fact that Satou is the most common surname in Japan.

Gin Ibushi: 飯伏 銀 (Ibushi Gin) 飯: Meal, boiled rice 伏: Bend down, bow, cover

銀: Silver

Kazumi Mishima: 三島 和己 (Mishima Kazumi) 三: Three 島: Island

和: Harmony, peace 己: Self

Shin Tsukimi: 月見 真 (Tsukimi Shin) 月見: Viewing the moon. Individually, 月 (tsuki) means “Moon”, and 見 (mi) means “See, hope, chances, idea, opinion, look at,” or “Visible.

真: True, reality

This name is fun because it’s basically the opposite of the real Sou Hiyori’s name. 

“Hiyori” can also be translated as “Sunny Weather” as opposed to “Perfect Weather,” which goes against “Moon Viewing”.  “Sou” is also a pun on “Uso” which means “Lie,” and “Shin” directly translates to “True” or “Truth. 

Basically Shin took the identity of a dude who’s name is the exact opposite of his.

Gashu Satou: 佐藤 我執 (Satou Gashuu) 佐: Assistant, help 藤: Wisteria

我執: Egotism, obstinacy. Individually, 我 (ga) translates to “Ego, I, selfish, our” or “Oneself,” while 執 (shuu) can mean “Tenacious, take hold, grasp,” or “Take to heart.”

I don’t really have a reason for putting Gashu in this list aside from showing yall that his first name literally means “Egotism.” 

However, the fact that Satou is the most common surname in Japan is the reason that people didn’t guess he was Kai’s dad sooner.

Alice Yabusame: 八分雨 ありす (Yabusame Arisu) 八: Eight 分: Part, minute of time 雨: Rain

ありす: No meaning. It’s just “Arisu.” I’m putting it here just so y’all know that it doesn’t mean anything.

Gonbee Yamada: 山田 権兵衛 (Yamada Gonbee) 山: Mountain 田: Rice paddy

権兵衛: John Doe, person of an unknown name. Individually, 権 means “authority”,  兵 means “soldier” or “warfare,” and 衛 means “defense” or “protection.”

Considering this was a fake name it was absolutely so fucking ballsy of Alice to name himself the equivalent of “John Doe.” Yamada is a super common surname too, so it’d kind of be like the equivalent of, uhhh, “Jeandeaux Jones” or something.
