Is it possible to replace the Mac system font for some languages with this?

I prefer the Noto Japanese typeface over the one that comes with Mac and would like to replace it.

I'm not sure if you can replace system-wide fonts without some hacks, like [1], but maybe TinkerTool [2][3] can help a bit:

Possibly. Various "Helvetica to Lucida" scripts and tools came out when the default font was switched in Mavericks or Yosemite.

Worth trying!
