RE: NLS and support

I just created a new database with character set UTF8. OEM 2.1 displays Japanese on a Japanese machine.

You're short one bit of information: character set. Which Japanese character set will you be supporting? That's the first issue to settle since your current character set may support the particular Japanese character set you need. If not, you're in for a treat because you'll have to rebuild the database in a new character set.

There is always the possibility of using "raw" columns and using the proper software to do reports if you're not using the Japanese columns for indexing.

Good luck!
