Conection?

[cissmiace]

Right Ive been attempting to find out what that bit of text says when the 'trick' guy is on screen.
I think its 'Hiragana' Japanese.
I cant figure out some of it, and I have no idea what t says yet xD

? しらみ か かく?みのとら

?= cant find

The letters are called;

し= shi
ら= ra
み= mi
か= ka
く= ku
の= no
と= to

I havent tried translating it yet, because I might have done this all wrong.

My previous screencap for ref;

EDIT;
I slapped what I had so far into babelfish, (missing out the words I coudnt find) and it translates literally to;
"It does and others sees like this the straw raincoat and others"
rofl whut xD

[furikku]

Babelfish sucks at Japanese.

It'd be a lot easier if he'd used kanji instead; there are a lot of different words that any of this can be. The only ones I can find are "louse" (shirami) and "tiger" (tora).

The largest string, "kakunimino," doesn't seem to translate to anything.

EDIT:
What it reads is "ni shirami ka kakunimo tora"

It doesn't seem to stand up to the Japanese grammar I usually hear, but I'm by no means an actual student of Japanese, so I could be wrong.

My former roommate is from Japan. I'll try to get ahold of her tonight and see what she says

[Kain211]

OMG!!!!!! I think I have something. Ok, when the guy is doing the coin trick with the yen(?) in video five and it shows the people talking on screen, theres definatly something in the back round that sounds at least somewhat legible if we can isolate it. I dont have the tech to do this, so If someone could try that, Id be greatful. Also, right before the showing of the legs, theres a text scroll at the bottom of the vid. Any ideas?

[ForeverMourn]

There are tons of translations for that phrase. I can't find a good translator, but I do have a friend who is fluent in Japanese. I have e-mailed him the original screencap. So maybe I'll hear back soon!

Kain, The string of letters at the end was decoded a page or two back. I think they Edited their original post to include it.

[ForeverMourn]

[Kain211]

Ahh, I missed that... to me Anyway...any ideas on the noise in the background on the coin trick part in vid five?

[jabroni]

[Kain211]

Hmm...well, being this is (most likely) an ARG, I doubt anything is meaning less o.o! Anyways...the talking(screaming?) part sounds like its the same thing both times.

[cissmiace]

Kain - yeah i thought that there was more than one section of the video with odd background noise, but I focused on the part I mentioned before, which jabroni wonderfully uploaded to mp3.

I cant help but feel were all might be over looking the current clues. I thought I might do a brief sumary for this video, if not for my own sanity hope thats ok!

Small Summary

So far for this video we have;

A code from the beginning of the video which Brrittany solved

which gave us;

[jabroni]

I think you have everything for the 5th Video except I think it might be worth adding what the coin guy says. Im pretty sure there is some kind of message in his words. He emphasizes Left, Right, and Center. The nonsense sentence is the main part, but also the picture I'd take 1500 thing seems to have some deeper meaning to it.

He says:

[arbolita]

Okay, talking to my roomie who is japanese (and lived there except for the past 2 years) and this is what she said:

Emi:hm........
Emi:hold on
Emi says:two louse mosquito ---- tiger
Emi says: 4th word,, I dont kno
Emi says:I check the word up with dictionary but they dont have it
Emi says:is this sentence or just some words?
Arbolita: Not sure. could that word be split to mean two different things?
Emi says:i dont think so

[furikku]

I'm going to hazard that the PM probably tried to make a question in Japanese by taking words from a dictionary and stringing them together, which Just Does Not Work in Japanese.

[ForeverMourn]

You're right, you can't string words together. It's obvious he's not Fluent. Japanese uses PRECISE top level grammar. That-- is obviously NOT.

EDIT Been Thinking

AIM Conversation:
petite teenage twatski stingless gent from 3rd Video


Petite- Little (In French La Petite Coquette= The Little Flirt)
Teenage- Young?
Twatski- Russian female
Stingless- ? I can't think of anything except the Bees.
Gent- Gentleman? Or Belgium?

I just don't see this going anywhere, unless it's referencing places. France, American, Russia, Australia(Stingless Bees were found in AU), Belgium? But that doesn't really make any sense.
