He left Neverland sometime after CIMA and worked at a soba shop for a very long time. I've heard he's apparently getting back into game composition to some extent, as he composed the title theme ("Red Spider Lily"), opening theme ("Red Spider"), main(?) theme ("Vengeance") and ending theme ("Retribution") for a Hong Kong noir-style visual novel called
Red Spider, and composed three more tracks for the sequel ("Fulltime Killer", "Running on Karma", and "Exiled"). Yukio Nakajima also contributed to
Red Spider 2 with the tracks "Diversion Fight" and "Undercover". If Shiono's done anything since then, the English-speaking Internet does not have any information on it.

She didn't disappear completely. I don't know what else she's done, but she wrote the (largely disappointing with the exception of Vaati's theme) music for
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, the GBA game included with the release of
A Link to the Past and not to be confused with GameCube Zelda
Four Swords Adventures.

From what I can glean, he was shifted from EAD to SPD years ago and mostly does sound support and supervision. Of course, with EAD and SPD merged as EPD, it's possible he may have left or been given the boot.
