Btw, "confession" is a mistranslation of kokuhaku and I'm pretty sure it actually means "declaration".

- level3 3y ago"Confession" is fine as a translation. 告白 can be used for admitting to crimes, confessing one's love, revealing a secret, etc. It would never be used for a declaration where there is no sense of guilt/shame/embarrassment involved.
