Use MSN Messenger. Japanese actually works on it without doing anything...
Many people have this issue of trying to get Japanese to work on AIM. Search the forums and see if there's a solution.

You'd either have to use a Japanese version of AIM or a third-party chat program like GAIM to chat in Japanese on AIM. As far as I know, the English version of AIM only supports chat in the good ole Roman alphabet. ICQ, Yahoo Messeger and MSN Messenger support Japanese out-of-the box, as far as I know.
