I've found some of those same album listings when trying to find something definitive for his name myself, but I've never been totally sure they're the same guy.

Haha, well, let's have a discussion about that. It's not a big deal, but just as a personal rule, I don't romanize names that are entirely in hiragana or katakana unless they're obviously a first and last name, because they frequently turn out to have stylized romanizations. Especially ones in katakana.
As an example using ハルナ,
HΛL vocalist Haruna Hamada used that name when she was still with the group, but in English it was stylized as HΛLNA, not Haruna. (I don't think it's her on this album.)
Again, not a big deal, and certainly not VGMdb policy. Just my policy.
