第二百九条の四（第三者の財産の没収手続等）
If a claim, etc. that is illegal property (meaning property other than real property and movables; the same applies in paragraph (1) of the following Article and Article 209-7) belongs to a person other than the accused (hereinafter referred to as a "third party" in this Article), and the third party is not allowed to participate in the proceedings of the case under public prosecution, a judicial decision for confiscation may not be made.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph also apply when property on which a superficies right, a mortgage or any other right of a third party exists is sought to be confiscated pursuant to the provisions of Article 198-2, paragraph (1) or Article 200-2, and the third party is not allowed to participate in the proceedings of the case under public prosecution.
第百九十八条の二第一項又は第二百条の二の規定により、地上権、抵当権その他の第三者の権利がその上に存在する財産を没収しようとする場合において、当該第三者が被告事件の手続への参加を許されていないときも、前項と同様とする。
If property on which a superficies right, a mortgage or any other right of a third party exists is to be confiscated, and the right is to be kept in existence pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article, the court must pronounce to that effect simultaneously with the rendering of confiscation.
If a judicial decision for confiscation without the pronouncement referred to in the preceding paragraph becomes final and binding with regard to a right that is to be kept in existence pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article, a person that holds the relevant right and was unable to claim the right in the proceedings of the case under public prosecution due to a reason unattributable to that person may, demand a judicial decision to the effect that the case falls under a case in which the right should be kept in existence.
If the judicial decision referred to in the preceding paragraph is made, compensation is made pursuant to the rules applicable to the compensation for confiscated property that has been disposed of specified in the Criminal Compensation Act (Act No. 1 of 1950).
前項の裁判があつたときは、刑事補償法（昭和二十五年法律第一号）に定める処分された没収物に係る補償の例により、補償を行う。

confiscation
没収
A punishment that can only be added to a principal one (付加刑) (Penal Code, Article 9): a thing connected with the crime is confiscated. What may be confiscated is the thing that makes up the crime, a thing used or meant to be used for it, a thing it produced or gained or that was received as a reward for it, and what was received in exchange for such a thing (Article 19, paragraph (1)); only a thing belonging to no one but the offender, unless someone else acquired it after the crime knowing the facts (paragraph (2)). For a crime punishable only by penal detention (拘留) or a petty fine (科料), only the thing that makes up the crime may be confiscated, unless a special provision says otherwise (Article 20). Where a thing gained by the crime cannot be confiscated, its value may be collected instead (追徴) (Article 19-2).

public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).

registration
登記
Entry in a public register kept by a registry office (登記所) — a Legal Affairs Bureau or one of its branch offices — so that the matter is made public (Real Property Registration Act, Articles 1 and 6, paragraph (1)). Rights in land and buildings, such as ownership, a superficies (地上権), a statutory lien (先取特権), a mortgage and a right of lease (賃借権), can be registered under that Act (Article 3), and matters the Commercial Code, the Companies Act and other Acts require to be registered are registered under the Commercial Registration Act (Article 1). Registration also lets a right be asserted against third parties: acquiring, losing or changing a right in rem (物権) in land or a building, such as ownership, cannot be asserted against third parties until it is registered (Civil Code, Article 177), and a matter the Companies Act requires to be registered cannot be asserted against a third party who does not know of it until it has been registered, nor, even after that, against one who had a justifiable reason for not knowing of the registration (Companies Act, Article 908, paragraph (1)).

superficies
地上権
A right to use another person's land in order to own buildings or other structures, or trees or bamboo, on it (Civil Code, Article 265). It can be entered in the land register (Real Property Registration Act, Article 3, item (ii)). The Act on Land and Building Leases counts a superficies held in order to own a building as a land leasehold right (借地権), just as it counts a lease of land for that purpose (Article 2, item (i)).
