Yes, you can overfeed musa basjoo. I did one summer. The results will be brown areas on the lower to middle leaves like it has some disease. I can't comment on what's happening with yours right now, but keep in mind they can be overfed.

You can overfeed anything. Hopefully, with time and water you'll dilute the amt. of nitrogen you gave it and new leaves coming out will eventually return to normal.

I would say don't fertilize it for a few months. It does sounds like overfertilization.
