Quite frankly, I never had an issue with Japanese input after having
installed Ubuntu numerous times on several machines.  Of course, I
don't use Japanese much...only in e-mails and LaTeX occasionally.

Agree that it still isn't as straight-forward as selecting a language,
clicking Install, and everything is done.  For what it's worth, I've
bookmarked this which has worked for me for 14.04, too:

As for Unity...well, maybe I've come to accept all of its problems
because I'm not bothered by it much anymore.  Just like being a
Windows user and accepting that restarting while in the middle of
writing document is part of the normal workflow.  :-)
