Huh ...now your saying something completely different  than before .
Before you said :
"

If you set LANG to en_US.UTF-8 then setting LC_CTYPE to ja_JP.UTF-8
doesn't make sense (since the encoding already is UTF-8).
"

And yes. Somehow it requires that to function well . Dunno why though.

Tried it . Output of locale :
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8

Output of my 'date' command :
2004綛  7  2 9:46:12 AKDT

Doesn't seem like mojibake to me.
