I found something on Japanonymous. Here's hoping someone with a better image editor than mine can manage the next step.

the image name is 200512.jpg

20 05 12 is TEL

Probably a coincidence.

Well it sounds like Rika is on the right track.

I don't know if this would help. I can't actually view most of the sites and pictures because I can only currently access my net from my blackberry... So I'm basing this on my lurking.

Obviously we've skipped some steps. Either:

1) we should work backwards. Which might start with what rika found. What would have Led us to choose Melpomene. She said there's a secret meaning to her name and to use it we have to figure out what that meaning is. What does melpomene stand for? What's it's significance.

2) Some have already stated they think the reason we're stuck at this stage is because we played a guessing game with something that we were probably meant to figure out. Yet we're still playing guessing games with the pictures. Maybe there's a reason iriguchi and jitensha were picked as words. Did we ever figure out why? Or were they just words randomly guessed.

Don't know if this will help any. But just a couple thoughts since I can't really look at any of the clues.

What else sounds like a telephone?

Or is it the fact that you got a word out of two others...? hmmm...

we so need grumpyboy to come to our rescue on this - i'm lost.
kinda wish (HINT HINT) that the pm might give us some other
clue or poke or something to put us on the right path.

one plus two is three is doing circles in my brain.

Maybe I missed something, where did the 109 come from, Rika? Cause it obviously was closer than some of the other guesses we've made.

Also, I don't know if anybody know how to retrieve this sort of information, but I opened up the nine main images in notepad to see if I could find anything. I noticed that "Canister Spies" and "Slip sInternal" are saved in a different format that the others. It looks like there's some photoshop stuff in there, but I tried saving it to a .psd file and opening it in Gimp and then Photoshop but had no luck. Thought I would put it out there in case anyone else had any ideas.

Double posting 'cause it's 3 days later, man I feel like I'm close and it's driving me nuts.

Based on the numbers 1, 0, and 9, and your thinking it's a phone number...

901 is the area code for Memphis, TN.

019 and 109 aren't anything as far as I can tell.

However that's excluding international area codes. I just looked for matching numbers in the U.S.

Rika, who sent you that email, and under what context? I just thought it would be nice to know how you got there. But it's amazing, whatever is hidden on that page, you seem to be getting really close.

Also, sent an email to melpomene asking if denwa[telephone] was the the thrid key, since terehon[katakana version of telephone] had "a familiar ring to it".
