Welcome to the WikiProject Japan Music taskforce! The objective of this taskforce is to improve all of the Japanese music-related and "music in Japan"-related articles on Wikipedia. This includes traditional Japanese music as well as more recent additions to the field (enka, rock, J-pop, etc.) Our goal is to bring as many as possible of these articles up to Featured Article status, and you can help! Even if you can only spend a short time here and there working on the articles, your assistance is greatly appreciated.

The main article of this taskforce is Music of Japan. Everything else branches off from there.
