Don't know about you but that makes me say "Hmmm..."

Did that.  Got the menu.  Selected:

ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
ja_JP.UTF.8 UTF-8

but ignored a whole bunch of other pre-selects that I can't see a need 
for in this lifetime only to keep things as close to original as 
possible for a few more minutes.

I then ran

locale-gen

When it asked me which I wanted to be default, I selected ja_JP.UTF-8 
UTF-8 but do not know what problems I may now have created for myself.

I am feeling as though I should reboot after I send this.  Wish me luck ...
