Oh... You need to install Japanese on your operating system. If you're running on Windows XP then you need to do the following:

Start Menu ---> Control Panel ---> Regional and Language Options ---> Languages ---> *tick the option that says "Install files for East Asian languages"* and voila! You should have it installed. You might need your Windows CD for that.

In my case however it kinda installed it automatically when I tried viewing a Japanese site. It just prompted me to install it and I accepted. Next thing you know, its working :).

thats why language packs are optional. they use up space.
