Joe has posted a couple of times on the annoyances of trying to use Google services on Japanese cell phones. The biggest problem has been the fact that mobile Gmail, while working fine for English, has actually not been able to display Japanese text on a Japanese mobile phone. Until now. I am happy to report that, perhaps starting as recently as this week, I now have no trouble reading Gmail messages in Japanese on my phone.
