What do you mean by the lower statement?

I was wondering how that style tag appeared: you don't need it for japanese being displayed. Seems it came from Wordpad.
If it's just when you paste it here that things get unformatted, try pasting it as plain text and see if the problem persists: Edit Post -> click on the "Paste Plain text" button on the Visual Editor- > CTRL+V and "Insert".

P.S: I gave Wordpad a try: copy and paste on post works fine for me (it seems to be pasting as plain text too).

I've also tried copying and pasting some text and it works.
I can see on your blog you've put ・o・・・・・X ・|・C・・・g under a style tag as span style="font-family:MS Mincho;" lang="JA"
How exactly are you inserting the japanese on your post?
Try this: simply copy this -> 侍の魂, Add a New Post, paste what you just copied, Save Draft and click Preview. Is it displaying properly now?

I have another article to post but will be very disappointed if I can't add the kanji which has life to the article .
Do I just need to cancel leave and find a better blog... again the guy that writes henka as mentioned above uses kanji..

For example: menu titles, widget titles, other text associated with a theme.

So I'll move this topic to the Support forum.

I also neither write nor speak Japanese, but writing about Japanese food sometimes requires a word or two to help folks identify an ingredient.

1. different themes uses different fonts, maybe fonts which is used in your theme don't support all needed letters, if you choose theme "chateau" problem remains?
2. maybe you use wrong encoding?(in browser/keyboard settings, copy text from that blog in which text is shown and paste to your blog)
