Hi!
Try Document -> Settings... -> Language, uncheck "use language's default
encoding", and then see if utf8 appears in the list of Encodings.
I must warn you that (a) I'm not using the Windows version, (b) I have
no idea about Japanese, and (c) I'm not sure that switching to utf8 is
really the correct thing to do --- with Hebrew, I find that utf8 doesn't
help, rather I need to set the encoding to cp1255, so you may have to
switch it to whatever encoding is correct for Japanese.
Hope this helps!

Hi, I just installed the LyX1.5.0 beta and I can't figure out how to
get the encoding working. I'm trying to do a document which has
Japanese text in it but it keeps telling me "change the encoding to
"utf8" but I don't know where to do that - help?

I can confirm this. Same symptoms on a new WinXPhome machine with the
installer from 19.12.
configure.py says this:
>configure.py
