I'm sorry if I came off as an elitist. The YOU in caps was YOU as in the player. I thought I edited the post above but I guess there was a hiccup.

But taking an insane rant as a clue to Kinzo's apparent death, as well as analysing every single kanji in every single name... I think we're getting too focused on details and ignoring the bigger picture.

Both stem from questions asked so I answered them to the best of my ability.
To me and as well as the majority of the people playing the game (not necessary on this forum), kanji analysis is second nature and the stuff I posted is for the most part is common knowledge. To some extent, I personally believe breaking down the names is necessary to solve the mystery. 卿 and 里 for example are in the riddle and in the names. Both kanji specifically where pick out in story itself (well, actually the の infront of the 卿 was which might imply the title of Gold rather than the land of Gold on the tenth night). 鮎 could also be written as 香魚 where 香 is found in Jessica's name. I found k//eternal's approach interesting and I was quite interested what would come out if I provided him and the forum members knowledge they most likely would not get from just translations.
But I do agree it's overkill info. I did so purposely to see if anyone could pick up new ideas by providing info you can't get by just reading the game if that makes sense.
Oh also, I provided the break down of the building names as it's possible the riddle is pointing to those names rather than the people's and I provided the X音's names as it's possible they'll come out in the story. IIRC reading sometime long ago that one has a tachi-e planned but that tachi-e was scrapped b/c it looked too much like Shannon (iirc it was 眞音 and the info was from an interview with Ryukishi which I can't find at the moment). Recalling that info (it might been just a rumor, I don't remember anymore), I thought I might as well break down their names as well.
