According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/country-region-strings?view=msvc-170 Japanese is not actually a valid "language string", which surprised me.

I'm sorry, It's not cpprestsdk side problem. I think.

Remove this line

std::locale::global(std::locale("Japanese"));

and, use these APIs to emit Japanese strings to console. Solved.
