Because of "plural=0" configuration, msgstr[0] is used and msgstr[1]
never be used.

I think msgstr[1] should be removed from ja.po. "nplurals=1" define
allocated msgstr array size and the size is limited to 1. So, contents
of msgstr[1] is not allocated on memory.

After I removed those msgstr[1] definitions, I checked ja.po by
following command.

$ msgfmt --statistics -c -v -o /dev/null ja.po

It didn't show up any errors or warnings.
