I think you are mixing up a couple of things, to pull out Japanese data 
from MYSQL you will provably need to make MYSQL aware of the
character set you intent to use, support for character set handling
was added to MYSQL in version 4.1.

As for the PHP code, it might be enough to specify a default media type 
charset parameter to your web server, example for  Apache you could
use the AddDefaultCharset Directive.

Then you'll have to make shure that PHP is encoding the outputs to
the proper character set.

Hope you have enough info here to spend some time researching by
yourself now :)
