I am not sure if this will be of help to you since my setup is a bit
different.  For example, I use powerdot for my slides and process it
with latex (pdfTeX).

In the source, I put:

\documentclass[orient=landscape,style=aggie]{powerdot}

\usepackage{CJKutf8}
...
\begin{document}

\begin{slide}[bm=]{Test}

\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{min}
日本語
\end{CJK}

\end{slide}

\end{document}

You're suppose to put the \begin{CJK}...\end{CJK} around Japanese
text, but there is no harm putting it once around your entire
document.

Of course, you need to save your source document using UTF8 encoding.

Hope this helps!
