I’d put a more positive spin on it. Yes, Amherst is hard to get into, but your son is certainly a viable candidate with an interesting background. Amherst is very proud of its historical ties to Japan, so that’s a plus for him. Nobody here can tell you his chances. You’ve got less than a month to wait and then you’ll know for sure.

I would agree that some LAC will be lucky to have him, and if you’re looking for other LACs with good Japanese studies and music, consider Oberlin.
