This looks like the metatag was not set correctly for Japanese. Possibly should 
be Shift_Jis. Send me the code for the page if this doesn't solve your problem.
I looked at the code. There is an extra quotation mark in the content metatag. 
Should read:

CONTENT="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS"

I deleted the extra quote. Please see if this remedies the problem for everyone?
Reassigning to Sudhakar.
