While I am pleased with the anime OP/ED available in the U.S. ITunes store, there are still a plethora of songs not released here. Does anyone know the process to access the catalog in iTunes Japan?

I've never done it before, but a quick google search turned up this.

It's basically the same as other countries except you have to create another Apple ID in addition to your native country's Apple ID and have a Japanese form of payment (like a gift card). I know J-List sells iTunes Japan gift cards and I'm sure there are other places as well.

It's a shame Apple IDs aren't like Amazon accounts and can be used in other countries.
