Yeah. It's difficult. The discussion looks like a 'no consensus', but
throw in the socking accusations and the BLP background, and you can
understand the result, even if you disagree with it. I would look up
some sources, but I really hate those "pseudonym in another language
in an obscure and emerging genre (video music)" cases. You really
can't make much progress with those unless someone actually goes and
writes a book about it, or you know the other language (and I know no
Japanese at all).

And it doesn't help that composers lend themselves to being indexed in
databases and general name-checking without substantive content.
For example, look at the hits for Kinuyo in my CSE:
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=%22K…
Leaving aside the issue that I have no idea whether to whitelist
originalsoundversion.com as a RS or blacklist it as a database/blog
filling up my results, note that there are tons of references &
mentions, but few substantive discussions. (Ironically, one of the
more prominent hits is an
osv.com post criticizing the deletion:
http://www.originalsoundversion.com/?p=7667 )
