Can LAME create tags in Unicode?


Hi.

I've been ripping my CDs to MP3 files using LAME. One big issue is that some of my CDs have Japanese songs, whose titles are usually in Japanese. Whenever I encode those songs, LAME creates garbled ID3 tags. For instance,
Code:
$ lame -b 192 --tt "title_in_japanese" orig.wav new.mp3
LAME will not be able to take the track title and embed it in the tag -- it will place garbled text there.

My question is, is there any way to let LAME embed Unicode text into the ID3 tag? It is a pain to fix the tags of all the songs that it ripped one by one.

Thanks!
Dai

My own note... as opposed to LAME, OggEnc seems to understand Unicode well.
