AH! I have an idea.

Have you tried using UTF-8? I use that for all locales on my system, as 
long as my libc supports it. I even generated them manually by issuing 
the following commands as the superuser:

localedef -f UTF-8 -i ja_JP ja_JP.utf8
localedef -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.utf8

libc won't support UTF-8 for all locales, but I think it works for both 
ja_JP and en_US.
