Let us try it with environment variables LC_ALL and LANG to be en_GB.UTF8 first.
export LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF8 export LANG=$LC_ALL
(and reboot.) You should see menus in English (again)
With ibus installed, you should see something like 'raspi-menu' (http://tinlizzie.org/~ohshima/ibus/raspi-menu.png): there should be ibus Preferences item there. Pick that one.
Then in the panel you select "Input Method" tab. "Add" and select Japanese, and choose 'anthy'. as in 'ibus-config' (http://tinlizzie.org/~ohshima/ibus/ibus-config.png).
There, I believe you get the menu in the bar that looks like 'ibus-selection' (http://tinlizzie.org/~ohshima/ibus/ibus-selection.png).
Choose Japanese there and typing into terminal or browser should go through composition.
Scratch, when launched with LC_ALL being en_GB.UTF8 should come up in English here, but we can try switching to Japanese once the above works.
(Okay... I sent a similar email earlier with attached pictures but it went to the moderation because the attachment is "too big". The thing is that it feels like 100k is a little bit too small... How do others deal with the limit?)

Ok. One test is to launch the web browser and put the keyboard focus on the search field on google or something. Then click on the ibus menu in the Raspbian title bar. If you have a choice to input Japanese there, ibus is ready to handle it.
No happiness here. At least loading all those fonts improved the rendering!
Sorry again that I don't have the pi handy right now. If it does not resolve tomorrow, I'll make some screenshots to explain it.
Please! This is very strange stuff to me; much guidance required.
