The following works fine with ncurses 5.7, when using a proper font in
xterm:

  LANG=ja_JP alsamixer

With PuTTY, I had to configure it for UTF-8 (there does not seem to be
any other supported encoding with Japanese characters), and using

  LANG=ja_JP.utf8 alsamixer

(The Japanese translations are available since alsa-utils 1.0.21.)
