What religion do Japanese believe in?  

In Japan, it is a bit different as foreign countries. Japanese people don't necessarily believe in religion. However, even if they don't believe in a religion, they often have weddings or funerals in several religious styles when they have those events.

How do Japanese people think about others?  

Personally, Japanese people are educated to think about other people. So, they don't litter public spaces or speak in loud voices, and they try not to do something doubtful. In school, students make a line to move, and they sit or bow with command at the start and the end of classes. By doing so, students learn how to do collective action. However, because they think too much about other people, some of them aren't used to voicing their opinion.   

What is the traditional Japanese music?  

In Japan, western music is becoming popular and mainstream. However, there is traditional Japanese music with traditional musical instruments. Traditional Japanese music is performed at imperial events and it was played at the Nagano (winter) Olympics which was held in 1998, during the closing ceremony. 

This is the video of the closing ceremony. This music is the national anthem of Japan, and people with the yellow costumes are playing traditional musical instruments.
