If you use a VPN set to Japan and log into GOG, the store may allow you to download the Japanese pack as a free DLC for the "GOTY Edition." However, this requires a Japanese payment method history—not viable for most.
Most failed installations happen because the GOG client doesn't know Japanese exists. You need to edit the registry or the user.settings file.
