Hmm.  I fixed this in 14 with:

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit;h=9f12a3b95dd56c897f1aa3d756d8fb419e84a187

Perhaps I should back-patch that to 13.  You can work around the
problem by using 'ja-JP' instead.  That's a "BCP 47 tag", which the
Windows documentation recommends[1].

Done.
