Late response, but the list falls apart the moment it goes from Shinto to Hellenistic mythology. There is no correlation between Amaterasu, a Far Eastern supreme deity, and Selene, a Near Eastern personification of a natural phenomenon. Moreover, Princesses Celestia and Luna are a pair.

A more appropriate comparison would be Apollo and Artemis or... if you want to get really horsy... Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi, the Norse-mythic horses who pull day and night, respectively, across the sky.
