Something I noticed while looking at Passion & Pride's liner notes:

Chewtaro Moritake is credited as the guitarist for SA2 Unknown from M.E. Originally, the guitarist for that song and Death Chamber was credited as Shinichi Moritake.

Link to pages with scans and transcribed liner notes:
The liner credits were revised and rewritten for Passion & Pride. (Note that not all positions everyone is credited for are identical.)

Does this imply Shinichi and Chewtaro are one and the same? I kind of suspected that was the case anyway. Both guitarists, both have a shared last name, "Chewtaro" is a non-conventional name so possibly a stage name, and lastly, since Chewtaro has been working with Tokoi/ST since Space Channel 5, him being involved in SA2 makes sense. SA2's original albums are the only times a Shinichi Moritake is ever credited, so I think they just updated the credit for consistency.

EDIT: I just noticed True Colours (released in 2009) credits Chewtaro as the guitarist for Unknown from M.E. as well. That's definitely further evidence they are the same IMO.
