Er, SCIM probably wants to know what charset to serve up, and you just
told the system to tell it "please stick to ASCII; nothing outside of
the range 0-127."

Try launching scim with

    LANG=ja_JP.utf8 scim -d

I don't know that it will help, but it shouldn't hurt.

Use a bigger hammer, man.  Ie, just do LANG=ja_JP.utf8 and be done
with it, for testing.  I don't know if you made the same typo when you
tried, but the fact that you didn't type "LC_CTYPE" here shows how
easy it is to commit this typo.

If you don't like the side effects of LANG=ja, we can fix that later.
But I don't even trust SCIM to use the right locale variable at this
point.
