Well this is what I initially thought. But SCIM packager told me
otherwise. Just last one is enough with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
and QT_IM_MODULE=xim. Which will be likely to cause less trouble.
First, im-switch package (which I am part of it.) is good start.
Then I recommend scim-anthy for Japanese.
If you also want to have traditional encoding terminals, m17n-env
package may help.
If your primary language is not Japanese, you probably want to keep
display (or default locale) other than Japanese.
scim and im-switch package comes with ample discussion on how to do it.
Good luck.

FYI:
I am using scim-anthy under en_US.UTF-8.
