These days, especially, my need for Japanese is less than it used to
be--in my old company, I was dealing with Japanese customers, and
corresponding with a lot of people.  Nowadays, it's basically to print
out something for my wife, or write my inlaws.  

I played with Berry recently, it seems nice enough, though by default,
it goes for a Japanese keyboard.  I was trying to edit .bash_profile and
couldn't find the underscore, but was too amused by my own incompetence
to bother changing the keyboard map.  :)

Which to digress still further reminds me of my last time in Japan and
using my father-in-law's computer, and having to look for two minutes to
find @example.com
