As far as I know, in Europe, the WEEE directive is still in draft stage and will include recommendations on bannissment of lead. We expect the fourth draft to come out in feb 2000. But it is only a draft for the moment ! One main issue : if lead is banned then what is the best choice to replace it ?
I have no information on Japan.
