You remember correctly, there are indeed no credits in the game. Maybe there are some credits somewhere which you can only access with a cheat/code or something like that, but no one came ever up with something like that, so it's probably wrong - it's still very unlikely to release a game without any credits in it. Even the Super Game Boy had credits which you can access.
For Kirby's Pinball Land, there are a few tracks from Kirby's Dreamland in it, so Ishikawa isn't so wrong, but there are also some new tracks, and there isn't really a chance to tell if the new tracks are composed by Ishikawa or someone else.
There is also another game which don't have any credits for Ishikawa or Ando: Kirby's Ghost Trap aka Kirby's Avalanche. The credits says only Einosuke Nagao, but besides that there are a lot of remixed tracks from Kirby's Adventure which are composed by Ando/Ishikawa. Maybe Nagao was the composer for the original game (there is at least one track in the game which appears also in the original version, sorry, can't remember the name for the original game right now.) Either that or he did mostly an arranging job.
And for the topic: Ishikawa and Ando are some of favourites, I like Koji Kondo a lot as well. I like also Kozue Ishikawas and/or Ryoji Yoshitomis soundtracks from Wario Land I/IV a lot and Kazumi Totakas work for SML2. Hajime Wakai did a great job in Starfox 64 (along with Koji Kondo), which is also one of my favourite Nintendo-soundtracks. (and yeah, the SNES-soundtrack was great, too)
