I've changed this from Alias to Unit since otherwise it doesn't show the unit's performers in the entries, unless I'm missing something.

Maybe better to merge this back with the original entry if there's no way to have an alias act as an unit with sub-members?

I've asked about it before but I don't think it was ever looked into. I'm sure there's a way to make it work.

I separated them because the page was getting pretty cluttered. Also because in recent years the main name has switched from "Daisensei Muroya Strings" (11 credits in 2016) to "Koichiro Muroya Strings" (51 credits in 2016).

There wasn't an easy way to merge the two functionalities without doing extra queries on the fly, so I created a new Artist type "Group Alias", which you should use for artists like this. Let me know if it causes any unexpected behavior, or is anything related doesn't quite work right, as I needed to change things in several places.

'Muroya Strings' entries exist under both Daisensei Muroya Strings and Koichiro Muroya Strings.
If they should be put on an entry of the two, which is it?

I'd link it to Daisensei for albums before 2015, Koichiro for albums 2015 and later.
