(Discovery Sound also have their own website beyond that handy Loopmasters page).

I have approx 5 of Discovery Sound's Japanese / Vietnamese libraries and they are all good (if not great).

The other legal choice is to go online and ask some Japanese singer(s) to record some samples for a small price.
wow!! first time see it. thank you very much.this is the closet i want
Those samples are not very useful. The most they do is exclaim excitement and they count from one to 1.5. Sigh, hard to find the real deal.
Actually, included in the "Discovery Japan" library are also 16 loops (approx 20 seconds each) of traditional Esashi-Oiwake folk songs as well as 10 loops (approx 40 seconds each) of traditional Min-Yo folk songs.
Those are in addition to the Aino-Te shouts and the Shomyo chanting, as well as about 100 loops in total of koto, shamisen, shakuhachi and percussion.

The "Okinawa Tradition" library, also shown on that webpage in a linked thumbnail, contains about 50-60 sung and chanted Okinawan phrases as well as about 100-120 instrument loops.
The "Spirits of Ainu" sample library also has some singing from Hokkaido / Ainu areas.

As put above, they are good but not great sample libraries (and they're about 10 years old as published libraries, if not more).
Happily the OP seemed pleased, but as I commented above, there are very few other Japanese vocal (singing) samples easily available so the LEGAL alternative is to pay for some Japanese singer(s) to perform for you etc. It shouldn't cost too much tbf and there are some great value-for-money Japanese singers online of course.
There are other options but I'm not going to discuss them here; you can guess what they are.
