> I mostly use royalty free music of Japanese origin

Like what? I’d like to hear what royalty free Japanese music sounds like.

Here's the music that I used in my most recent game (which I call: Fore! Track): https://twitter.com/gingerbeardman/status/173255553386375169...

This track is by an amazing, long-standing musician that goes by the name watson and I listened to their entire catalogue and made a playlist of my favourites to be able to easily select a piece that fits any game I'm working on. Their umbrella website MusMus is https://musmus.main.jp and whilst you'll need to run browser translation on the site you will see all their music sorted across many categories. That said, it is definitely easier to listen to their music through the albums they've released on streaming platforms: Spotify and Apple Music for certain, and probably others. They're also on YouTube.

Of course, there are many more Japanese services and people writing great royalty free music. Another of my games used royalty free music by a young Japanese musician named YuyakeMonster, again picked specifically to fit a particular game: https://soundcloud.com/mac-vogelsang/sets/sparrow-solitaire
