I'm not sure about tutorials in English but if you know Japanese, I'm sure
you can just google for them. :)

I'm not really sure if I understand what you meant here--perhaps you can
post some sample codes?

You mean in your html pages? That wouldn't really work unless you've
configured php to handle multi-byte characters. (Maybe not necessary in
4.3.x versions...) Besides, you also need to configure MySQL to handle the
Japanese characters. You need to check your configuration/settings in your
my.cnf and php.ini.

Without any code snippets and environment info, it'll be hard for anybody to
help out...
