I can't try the japanese UTF, but are you sure that /usr/bin/printf
supports UTF8? Typing printf at the shell is not the same as using
/usr/bin/printf. The bash built-in printf function is very different
from the external executable and has caused lots of headaches to me
already. It might be the source of your problem too.

PS: This problem is one of the reasons I strongly discourage the current
standard of how default notifications are generated...
