PS : Lisi, I seem to have misunderstood the nature of the problem you were experiencing - on a closer reading of your letter I see that the choice of adding Japanese under *KMenu → System Settings → Regional & Language → Add language was not available to you. While, as noted above, I don't have Kubuntu* installed on my machine and therefore am unable to check, I think it might be possible for you to install other languages via *KMenu → System Settings → * Adept, and perform a search for «japanese». I presume that a list containing, among a lot of other things, language-support-ja and language-pack-ja packages for kde will then open, allowing you to install the ones you need. No guarantee here, but it might be worth while giving it a whirl....
