https://www.pcbway.com - PCB fabrication, assembly, 3D printing, CNC machining & more! It seems like just a short few years ago, "Linux Gaming" was something of a punchline - but not any longer...
I feel like “Japanese games” is pretty vague. Square Enix and Fromsoft are some of the largest Japanese studios out there and their games work great on Linux.
Funnily enough Hatoful Boyfriend has a Linux release. When I try playing that in Japanese though I get a weird issue with fonts not showing up even though I’m pretty sure I have the correct fonts installed. Maybe it’s some weird containerization thing that keeps the game from seeing the font. When I try playing the Windows release it just doesn’t launch… is what I was going to say but I just tried it with Proton Experimental and it seems to work perfectly now. Problem solved I guess?
I need to check what its called on my computer but lutris didnt work for me for some pirated games, some other launcher off github I found off a comment on reddit did, might work for that

Really? The only one I’ve had issues with is Persona 5, and even then I was able to get it working. Which GPU are you using?
Edit: now that I think about it I did have some trouble with Hatoful Boyfriend.

My condolences.
