Maybe there is a japanese program that can unrar files?
I can try it if you're able to send the file to me.

You need to set the locale to ja_JP in order to read file names written in Japanese. It is either ja_JP.UTF-8 or ja_JP.EUC-JP, depending upon the encoding used to write the file names. The Japanese version of Red Hat 9 uses EUC-JP, if I remember correctly. All the Fedora Core releases use UTF-8.

Set either LANG or LC_CTYPE to ja_JP.UTF-8 (or ja_JP.EUC-JP) and try running the decompression tool.
