We use a similar method to play British English sounds - they're in 
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/britishfemale - and voicemail seems to pick 
them up correctly. Have you made sure to specify language = jp in the 
relevant places? You need to do it in whichever module is originating 
the call to Voicemail - so if it's a SIP client, you'd probably do it in 
sip.conf, but if it's an incoming call, it's probably easier to do it in 
extensions.conf.

FWIW, this is also using an old version - 1.4.21, so unless something's 
changed between .18 and .21, it should work with your setup.


Kind regards,

Chris
