Manual curation of related artists on artist pages #177

There are a small but significant number of artists/bands that have performed under variations of their usual name, under another name entirely. There are also instances of members of bands moving to solo work, and vice versa. It'd be neat if there was a way to list these aliases. Here are some examples:

https://nkd.su/artist/Tommy%20heavenly6/ https://nkd.su/artist/Tommy%20february6/ https://nkd.su/artist/the%20brilliant%20green/

https://nkd.su/artist/T.M.Revolution/ https://nkd.su/artist/Nishikawa%20Takanori/ https://nkd.su/artist/abingdon%20boys%20school/ (he also performs the new Pokemon OP2 as "Nishikawa-kun")

https://nkd.su/artist/See-Saw/ https://nkd.su/artist/Ishikawa%20Chiaki/ https://nkd.su/artist/Kajiura%20Yuki/ (these two would in theory link to see-saw as their band, but not to each other's solo stuff)

There are others, but I don't think there are so many that doing this manually would be too difficult/impractical.

I think this issue should widen to artists should be treated as general entities with alternative names for song attribution on tracks.

For example, Yuzu and Yuzu are different artists. Koyama Keisuke officially uses a romanised version of his name as "Keisuke Koyama" even on Japanese song releases, but only for the past few years, so changing the older ones would be incorrect.

So, I would have the two Yuzu artists be independent, have all the Keisuke Koyama/Koyama Keisuke tracks under a single entity but the individual tracks would be labelled with their correct name.
