Thomas,

System Settings|Text Entry|Input sources to use: add Japanese if not
there already|click 'Show current input source in the menu bar' and you
should see the language icon on the top menu bar - click it & select
Japanse and ラハハ ンラナ キラ (no idea what I wrote there - I just
switched to Kana and typed 'there you go').
