Helpful Hints for Searching the Web for Japanese Music, Composers and Information
Some Japanese sites provide an English version of the site as a link on the home page so be sure to scan the home page carefully.

Google provides a translation function that works on most of the major non-English sites. Click the "Translate this page" link that appears next to non-English page names after you have completed a search in Google.

If you have the web address for the page to be translated, search for it using Google. If the page is listed in the search results, select the translation link.

The translation may be a little awkward and a fair amount of Japanese may remain in text and image form on the page, but you should be able to find and request music.

Searches for Japanese music using Google Japan may produce more English results than the American version of Google.

Inquiries can also be directed to Music From Japan at mfjrc@aol.com.
