Two Japanese NeXTStep versions of what?
As far as I know, there aren't any Japanese NeXTStep anything out yet.

Baran's Techletter states that the NeXT OS release 2.0 
supports composite font extensions in DPS and at the WindowServer
level, but not in the Appkit Text objects.

This means that Kanji text may be displayed if you directly
interact with the WindowServer if you buy Kanji PostScript fonts.
But you cannot use any of the NeXTStep applications to display
Kanji, let alone enter Kanji text in these applications.

I am sure these are all being worked on by NeXT-Cannon, but
No, no such luck currently on NeXTStep.
