Memoirs of a Murderer (22年目の告白－私が殺人犯です－), also known as Confession of Murder, is a 2017 Japanese detective thriller film that is a remake of the 2012 South Korean film Confession of Murder. The film was directed by Yū Irie and stars Tatsuya Fujiwara as Sonezaki and Hideaki Itō as Ko Makimura.

Plot
In 1995, five mysterious murders took place. In 2017, a man named Masato Sonezaki comes public confessing that he is the murderer, but the police cannot arrest him due to a loophole in the law. Sonezaki publishes a book and becomes a celebrity. Later, another man claims to be the real murderer. But then it is revealed that both of them are frauds. Sonezaki confesses that he wanted to capture the real killer while the other man wanted financial success. Sonezaki is revealed to be Takumi Onodera, whose fiancé was killed by that killer. Later, Sonezaki finds out the real killer's hideout and tries to kill him. Detective Kō Makimura comes and stops Sonezaki. The killer is then taken to police custody.

In a post-credit scene, a man attempts to kill the killer to avenge his mother.
