I don't have any objections on making fcitx default for Japanese users, it
should be up to their choice. Motivation behind this FFe is giving fcitx a
try in a wider range of audience before we can decide whether Ubuntu shall
switch to use it as default, and desktop team agreed on doing that for
Chinese users first.

So if @nobuto can tell that using fcitx as default is desired for Japanese
users, let's talk with other people on desktop team next week (preferably
on IRC). Even this makes me think about whether it's desirable for Korean
users, but if no one speak up let's leave it as is.
