I really must remove that old tutorial.

Look at how I changed the XML

In other words: add an extra paragraph tag to organize the first part 
that is left aligned, and your problem is solved.

That's because the font you are using doesn't have the Japanese glyphs.
In the iText book, there's an example where I take this XML:
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter09/resources/peace.xml
and convert it to this PDF:
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter09/results/peace.pdf

As you can see, some words are not shown because a necessary font is 
missing. The Hindi translation of the word is shown incorrectly because 
iText doesn't support Hindi ligatures. iText has no problems with 
Chinese, Japanese, Korean,...
