Perfect Crime Love Letter - SemiInterpretation





Title: Perfect Crime Love Letter (完全犯罪ラブレター)
Author: 150-P

Vocals: IA - ARIA ON THE PLANETES - (イア) (Vocaloid 3 software)

First of all, I must say this video was really, really, REALLY difficult to interpret.
But I couldn't think of anything else.
It's japanese music, sorry if it's a bother.

I'd like to point out that the song (video and lyrics, I suppose) is based off the japanese urban legend of Merry-san (if you want to know more about it, I suggest using google, as I'm bad at explaining things). And so, references to it are found everywhere. Everywhere. The song is about some weird interpretation of Merry-san (I think.).

Japanese producers can be confusing.
And very DEEP.

So, er, on with my interpretation.
First of all, I must say I still can't fully understand the lyrics even after listening tot his song and watching the video many many times. I hope you can make sense of it.

Well, first, the video consists of a boy, black screen, a cellphone with mails adressed to Merry-san, clocks and weird red things. There's also the bookmark that gives the name to the series of songs this is part of. And a cat. And lots of red and black. And a really cute boy, and some blood. I'm getting out of topic.

What is shown in the video goes tied up with the lyrics of the song, most of the time anyway. So this is sort of my video and lyrics interpretation cause otherwise I would write nothing.

So, I think the you that is mentioned in the song is the character of the first one (called "Hide and Seek of Isolation", once again based off an urban legend). I guess I'll just call him that black haired boy.
The you could also be the "original" of the boy in the song. (Refer to the song titled "Warning of Imposters", same series of songs)

I put too many unnesessary things.

From what I understand, the boy present throughout the video is, well, Merry-san, in his own way, He probably got possessed after what the first boy did in the first song.
Well, the video is actually pretty literal, going with the lyrics. As I just said.
First it shows us a book with blood and a bookmark. These are present in all songs of the series.
It then comes and shows us a tv, now, this may or may not be tied to another urban legend (this urban legend says that at night, a tv channel says the names of poeple that'll die). It's either that, or something about the boy from the first song dying.
Maybe, couting he played the one man hide and seek.
It shows us a boy, quite a beautiful boy, this boy looks worried about something. He talks to "you", with you being who knows who (my suspisions are up there), asking things about him. Hard to explain.
At the start he mentions a love letter adressed to him.
And then agai---WAIT, the second love letter is adressed to "you"...
I'll concentrate in the video. I should've chosen a simpler one.
At one point we see red footsteps, I assume this is the persecutor, either Merry-san or, maybe, the "fake" that is going to replace the original boy. Or maybe even the boy himself, since by then end of the song he says something about "being the one who killed". Killed who? The boy from Hide and Seek of Isolation?
Only the author knows.
The red moon, the red moon....I wonder what it means. It probably means...the blood that will be shed?
The cat is always there, I'm starting to think it's the evil entity guilty of everything.
Evil cat.
Then come the clocks that appear while the song says "spinning around" something like that. I think it represents the passage of time and how everything puzzles our song protagonist.
The killing is probably literal.
And the book is always there like I said.

That's it for my semi interpretation, hope I did it well.
Hope I did.
I love the laughing part in the song.
