Hello everyone, I just wanted to make a post informing any interested party that I am planning on making some contributions to the language section of the Culture of Japan page. I intend to add a statement on Ainu and Ryukyuan languages referencing both the following articles:

Hi everybody, I also wanted to post to inform anyone interested that I'm planning on contributing and editing the Music section of this Culture of Japan article. As a rough plan, I intend to:

-add citations where needed

-add a paragraph about origins, history, and influences

-involve both instrument names as well as artists both historical and contemporary

-verify and add to current popular music info.

Some of the sources I will be drawing from are as follows:
