I would never rely on a Windows to recover a partition... and moreover, 
as it seems to be a hardware failure, trying to fix the filesystem is 
probably a bad idea.

Maybe to read the japanese partition, just booting on the Slack Live CD, 
try to mount your NTFS partition with "iocharset=euc-jp" as an option. I 
don't know for NTFS actually, but it allowed me to read my Vodaphone 
SDCard Files, which is formated in vfat with Japanese folder names. And 
try to laucng your environment with a japanese locale.
