I'm sysadmin of Aegis (one of the few publicly accessibly systems in
Japan) and this is very interesting. 

As far as I know, Aegis gets everything; I've attached the Subject:
lines of the last 103 articles so you/somebody can check. However,
during the discussion re the creation of the fj.life.in-japan (which
passed its vote 200+ to 10) there was brief mention made of how many
SAs didn't want to have it in the fj. hierarchy as they couldn't
read the English and other languages and they were responsible for
the *content* of articles passing through their system. I posted a
query asking of more information but never got a reply. 

I will post a copy of this article to some people I know on other
hosts and ask them to check which s.c.j. articles are on their systems.

Dave
