It seems this (performer) anime-specific group appears only on this album (edit: only for one song); I've put the group name as suffix part, instead of making an artist page for it (so the members could be linked).

It would be nice if you could actually link the members of the unit with the usual pattern:
unit name (member 1, member 2, member 3)
without having to make that (unit) page...

huh actually, it's quite pointless to add it in the performer field

That's the way how the (three) performers are credited on the printed material so it's not pointless in a way. There are other anime specific units with artists pages, only they appear on more than one album so they kinda... deserved the pages? Anyway we just have different opinion on this - I think it's wrong to ignore what's printed (doesn't matter if I like that way or not).

I think Mahou Tsukai Tai need to be redirected from each member like an alias, like in the case Masami who redirect to Masami Okui. I hope understand what i mean.

it's the way it's displayed, artist (mtt) artist (mtt) artist (mtt)
it sux a lot, if it's for having such nonsense it could be removed

and I know about other artists with chara names, but not as lame as that display

Sure, sure, but if it's going to look like (usual way):
Mahou Tsukai Tai (Mayumi Iizuka, Junko Iwao, Hiroko Konishi)
then the artist page for the unit has to be created because you can't assign members to a unit if the unit doesn't have a bloody page and it's not usual to create it just for one song (no more credits for this unit, only 背伸びをしてFollow You), that's the point.

It's probably fine to leave Mahou Tsukai Tai out of the performer fields in favor of the artist names, and just put in the note that Mahou Tsukai Tai is Mayumi Iizuka, Junko Iwao, Hiroko Konishi.
