Japanese is actually not a very good example of this phenomenon because almost all of its sounds exist in English, unlike those of most Germanic, Semitic, or Romance languages.

Exactly, which is why your argument about how some words can't be pronouced correctly in English has absolutely nothing to do with anything being discussed here. So why are you bringing it up?

Because we're talking about -izing foreign words in general to aid in comprehension. Japanese sounds are not so different that they aren't recognized as existing like ch in German or gh or ' in Arabic, but there is still the issue of the orthography of the transliteration not being consistent with English orthography. So you -ize pronunciations to aid in the comprehension of those not familiar with the sounds of the Japanese language. When others are familiar with Japanese, feel free to use the Japanese pronunciation; when they're not, -ize it.

The fact that you are unable to understand any of this honestly makes me doubt if you speak a language other than English fluently as these are common issues for multilinguals dealing with others unfamiliar with the spoken aspect of a certain language.
