This is not "Japanese" style of music, it's inspired by arrangements of Balkan folk songs in "modernistic/20th century" style that were popular at some point in various "world music" compilations in 70s-80s. So, better grab a Balkan choir library, there are few out there, but idk how good are the ornamentation articulations in them. Use heavily clusters/minor seconds, phrygian mode etc.
Kenji Kawai originally wanted a Bulgarian choir for the soundtrack, but ended up recording a Japanese one (which was probably the better choice in this case).

@OP, in terms of purely Japanese vocals (and some Japanese music), your best bet for (legal) samples is some of Discovery Sound's sample libraries:

(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.

Oh, and although the composer originally wanted a Bulgarian choir, and incorporated that style into the Japanese choral arrangement, it is of Japanese origin, being a Minyo chant:

I was aiming for the "Ghost in the Shell" vocal effect and tried running some layered vocals/choir sounds through Morph 2 with a pad and some formant processing. Certainly not the same and also not authentic, but for some electronic/experimental type tracks it was kind of interesting.

Edit: So this took all but five minutes - contact choir and morph 2 with the first pad sample that I could find and minor EQ and reverb. So with more effort I think something usable can be achieved..

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.

korg miku.

lol, that is a strange stomp box. I was thinking about the circuitry. It would resemble a transistor like in a radio I guess inside if it depended on those sounds being in sequence so that the words were in some sensible fashion. Otherwise the end result would be meaningless.

Which leads Me to believe it's digital within. Would be strange to see that kind of articulation in circuitry in this day and age.

However, that aside. I will make a good Japanese Vocal sample pack. I'll study some Japanese styles and come up with something traditional. However, the popular guttural style seems more as if Korean or from Singapore and less Japanese. More like a trend resulting from an amusing "sound" in western film. So don't expect sandpaper and shoguns; but I'll likely cater to some of the same.

Later, I'll hire a female and make more from females. Either will be sold exclusively here at the marketplace.

Here's a track in which I incorporated Myself speaking Japanese:

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.
