3 of the 4 songs currently assigned to Chugoku are located in Okayama Prefecture (which is within Chugoku region), outside of Okayama city. The 1 song assigned to Okayama is from Okayama city. I assume the 3 village Okayama Prefecture songs were assigned to Chugoku in order to differentiate between urban and village populations. However, the EA Japanese society has a focus in Okayama but the sources indicate that the focus is Okayama Prefecture, not just the city (the sources refer to "rural Okayama" and "village life"). Currently the EA society is matched to GJB society 62405, but its data probably matches better with the rural Okayama songs currently assigned to 30053.
I suggest either:
Reassign the songs from Okayama Prefecture to society 62405, keep matched to EA Ed5 (Japanese), and change the People from "Urban Japanese" to "Urban and Village Japanese".
Keep the songs assigned as they currently are, but match EA Ed5 with society 30053 as well (or instead?)
@kirbykat do you have a sense of which of these is a better option?
