I prefer a  English one where I get Japanese input and display on X and if possible on console. I would like to hear  the Lug-ies experience preferably on the source based linux distros.

Any of them are easy when you know how.  :)  

If you're looking for source, I know that Gentoo is quite easy to get
working with Japanese.  (See my page on this
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html )

Slack is not hard to get working with Japanese either (also covered on
that page).  

If you use the langx script that I mention on the page, you can have
your Japanese input with English menus.
