I am running Debian with an English language environment where it is 
possible to also type and display Japanese. I don't run any software 
that is Japanese-only, so i can't test how that would behave. However, 
one thing to check comes to mind: what is your locale? If you open a 
terminal and type "locale" it should display a list of variables. On my 
machine they are mostly set to "en_US.UTF-8". If i wasn't using a UTF-8 
locale then i would expect to some difficulty getting a mixed 
environment with English and a non-European language working correctly.
