Great, now it works! The link
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-April/msg00376.html
explained where my problem originated from.
For those who might come after me:
From Fedora 7 on, SCIM is not activated by default anymore on
installation.
To be able to continuously switch between English and an Asian
language
during a session, both have to be installed and one has to run
"im-chooser" from the command line and then choose "Use custom input
method: scim". Then the language bar will appear with a small "SCIM"
icon in the corner of GNOME.
Thanks for resolving this...

Simply type:
yum groupinstall japanese-support
Then relogin to your desktop. Run "im-chooser" to be sure that SCIM is
launched.
