Thing's are quite a bit simpler if you just use emacs-20's built-in
input methods -- they basically just work out of the box (as long as
your emacs was compiled with the leim support enabled).  Just do:

  (set-language-environment "Japanese")

Then type C-\ (toggle-input-method) and begin typing!

Newer versions of (stable-release) gnus actually are harder to make work
correctly than older versions, but I have a small set of hacks that I
put in my .gnus file, which make everything work pretty flawlessly.
