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).
