Removal of native Japanese singers

At the top of the page, it mentions that the people listed are those who have lyrics in the Japanese language yet do not hold Japanese nationality. However, there are plenty of people in this category who are indeed natives of Japan. For example, Thelma Aoyama, despite having lived abroad for a few years and being of 1/4 Afro-Trinidadian heritage, was born in Japan and holds Japanese citizenship. There are also full-blooded Japanese people in this article, such as Ayaka Hirahara, Kaori Mochida, and Kohmi Hirose--to name a few. Likewise, there are bands listed whose members are all Japanese with Japanese nationality, such as Babymetal. I believe this category needs resorted or possibly merged with a different category to hold more true to its intentions.
