Help! Japanese ID3 Tag messed up. Convert ID3 grayed out?

Hi, I was importing a CD with Japanese words (some artists & titles) but the words appeared as boxes.

When I tried to change the info in the song, the same square boxes appeared when I cut & paste the info from CDDB.

Itunes help said to "Convert ID3 tags" under the Advanced tab but my "Convert ID3 Tags" is grayed out. What's with this?

How do I get the right Japanese words into the song info?

do you have supplemental language support enabled on your PC? if not, the following document may be of some help:

Hi thanks a bunch! That worked out great.

My "Convert ID3 Tags" is still grayed out but I don't need it now, cos the words appear as it is supposed to.

This was really helpful cos I asked around and most people were trying to help with the itunes settings instead which obviously didnt work.
