If your player is showing weird system characters or katakana then you need to tell your mp3 tagger software to NOT write in Unicode (UTF 16 or UTF 8) support as your mp3 player doesn't support it hence you getting the gibberish.
Just change it from Unicode to ID3 (either version) then get it to rewrite all your song tags.
Then they all display in English!

In answer to the comment of where to change this heres a more in depth explanation. I used MP3Tag to do the job which is freely available to download.
Right click your MP3 and chose the "Open With" option for MP3Tag which will then load.
Select the tracks you wish to alter (the ones that are showing up as katakana or weird system characters on your MP3 players display) then select the TOOLs menu.
Select the OPTIONS menu.
In the TAG option select MPEG & tick ALL the boxes, place the dot in the spot marked ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 & click OK.
Now simply tag your file and when you next fire up your MP3 player it should display correctly in English.
