It's entirely possible, and probable, that in an infinite universe there are instances of two independently created yet identical objects, species, or in this case, languages. Added, they speak the language differently: Aetanii, compared to Japanese people, "sing" the tongue.

Their writing system is different from the Japanese one, very much so: they don't use a pictographic style of written communication. Theirs could be likened to a harsher version of Elvish script, with more straight lines and angles. However, their cursive style of writing is somewhat similar.

And Eureka is right: no alien species would use Japanese for communication with outsiders a a whole. They would be more likely to use English, which, while technically a less common language than Spanish or Chinese, is known and used in every nation across the planet, due to its use as a trade language. What do you mean, "sing"? And I still think that the Aetanii speaking a language that's identical to Japanese in all but one way is just not ok. You need to have some explanation. Good sci-fi isn't built off of crazy coincidences.

Does it function like Elvish?

On another note, what do their light sabers look like (hilt design and blade color)?
