You can use German an d English software, the only problem is the
keyboard. Since most Software does not support Japanese keyboards it
may be a little difficult. On the other hand, if you are using Linux
there is no problem. For Japanese win95/98 software you may need 
the japanese win95/98. I tried some on the American win95 and it is a
problem when you can`t read the menus :).

You need a japanese Netscape. For Linux there is a hack that turns the 
English version into a Japanese one. Look at the tlug web page to get
more information about linux and Japanese.
