It can be hard to pinpoint if or not a thing Japanese is based on a Japanese folklore.

At times the folkore stuff can be obscure and fans only pick up on major ones.

Off the top of my head, the one thats always easy to spot is Rabbit Moon, which is the one Yukari references. But thats been popular over the years to reference and a lot of anime fans know about that folktale from Sailor Moon. It makes that one really easy to spot without needing confirmation... Almost every instance of a rabbit, moon and girl within Japanese culture is a reference to that same tale.

The only thing stopping someone adding the plum spirits story posting would be its a bit obscure and needs second confirmation.

Japanese culture tends to be full of such things and honestly I'd not be surprised if we're not missing lots within Vocaloid. Welcome to the language and cultural barrier, population; the entire western fanbase.
