The OSD is done completely differently from the rest of Myth. For all of the UI, Myth uses the Qt-provided fonts installed on the system. For the OSD, Myth reads ttf files "directly" (through freetype) and then creates the glyphs--therefore system fonts and system font-replacement rules do not apply. The font specified by your OSD theme (likely FreeSans or FreeMono) doesn't have Japanese characters. Therefore, you need to edit the osd.xml and specify a better font. Note, also, that the OSD is being completely rewritten to work more like the rest of the UI. At that point, we'll need new OSD themes, so you can help prospective OSD themers by letting them know what free/GPL-compatible fonts cover the characters you need.
