Not Japan but a group of Japanese singers. This is one of four similar films promoting the film project Pangea Day, which looks like it could be pretty interesting. From the website:
What is Pangea Day?
Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. On May 10, 2008, live events in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked by satellite to produce a program of powerful films, live music and visionary speakers. The program will be broadcast live to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.
Who started Pangea Day?
Pangea Day was created by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jehane Noujaim in collaboration with the TED Conference after she won the prestigious TED Prize, which granted her a wish to change the world. Together, Jehane, TED, and the Pangea Day team — led by Executive Director Delia Cohen — have created Pangea Day to harness the power of film to enhance empathy, compassion, and peace.
Of course, if that doesn't do it for you, we can always listen to Smoke on the Water again. I love the audience's reaction when they recognize the tune.

Smoke on the Water! Fantastic!
Snap!
I have recently learned thsat Japanese and Turkish cultures are very close to each other in etnics.
I've heard similar things, about a shared Central Asian origin. I don't know much about it, though, especially with regard to the Japanese.
wonderful!!!
The Smoke on the Water was brilliant. I can't stop watching it.
