Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The jekyll-theme-chirpy theme currently lacks Japanese (ja) locale support, which means Japanese users cannot have a fully localized blog experience. This affects UI elements, date formats, and navigation labels that should be properly displayed in Japanese for better user experience and accessibility for Japanese-speaking users.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose adding Japanese locale support by:

Creating a new locale file ja-JP.yml in the _data/locales/ directory
Adding translations for all existing UI strings and labels in Japanese
Implementing proper date formatting for Japanese date conventions
Ensuring proper font support and text rendering for Japanese characters
