Yeah but name me one Kirby game in which you can clearly determine he was NOT on an adventure.

Air Ride?

And yes, like I said they kind of shuffled the names a bit when bringing the Japanese Castlevanias here.
But let's have a list:
Rondo of Blood-Rondo of Blood
Symphony of the Night-Nocturne of the Moonlight
Legends-Dark Night Prelude
Harmony of Dissonance-Concerto of the Midnight Sun
Aria of Sorrow-Minuet of Dawn (not to be confused with Dawn of Sorrow)
Lament of Innocence-Castlevania (just... Castlevania)
Encore of the Night (not released in Japan)
Harmony of Despair-Harmony of Despair

...that enough?

Never heard of Encore of the Night before until now. Doesn't sound like something I'd seriously consider canon though. But I suppose that would be entirely beside the point.

Can't believe I forgot Rondo of Blood. Most of the other ones you mentioned are the ones I was specifically talking about, however.

Legends is actually pretty faithful in name, contextwise. While prelude is a musicial term, prelude can also refer to the beginning. Legends was originally intended to be the "prelude" to the Belmonts' unending battle against Dracula. That was, unfortunately, removed from the timeline for seemingly no reason by IGA and is instead replaced with Lament of Innocence.
