Or an indication that nobody translated the menus into Japanese.

What is a general solution then?

So I tried in order:

1) substitute IPAUIGothic for MS UI Gothic

result: ugly Latin glyphs in regedit tree view

2) substitute the corresponding IPA font for MS Gothic, MS PGothic, MS Mincho,
MS PMincho

result: no observed change

3) substitute MS UI Gothic for MS Shell Dlg 2 (instead of the default Tahoma)

result: -

4) substitute MS UI Gothic for Tahoma

result: -

5) substitute MS UI Gothic for System

result: the test application displays Japanese characters
