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).
