Thank you theducks!
I somehow managed to do it! Here is what I did.
In Preferences/Interface/Add your own column, I created a new column titled EJtitle (I decided on something short and simple.).
Then in Preferences/Interfaces/Searching/Grouped searches selected #ejtitle from the Names dropdown menu. In the Value field #ejtitle appeared. To it I added ,title and clicked save. The resulting value was: #ejtitle,title
After doing the above I clicked on a Japanese book in my library and then on the Edit metadata button. I then clicked on the Custom Metadata tab and my EJTitle field was there. I added an English title and then clicked OK.
I did a search for the English title of the book and it appeared!
