Over the last year, the lack of an English translation for Ruby/Tk
stuff has been one of the most frequently mentioned items. But I don't
know how well that reflects current interest, since these people may
have moved on to GTK, or to Qt, or may have just given up on Ruby GUI
stuff for the time being. 

However, since the Ruby Rocks book 
  (
      aka Pragmatic Ruby 
      aka Paradigmatic Ruby 
      aka Perspicuous Ruby 
      aka Profound Ruby
      aka Prodigious Ruby 
      aka Polymath Ruby 
      aka Promethean Ruby 
      aka Pellucid Ruby 
      aka Panoramic Ruby 
      aka Palatial Ruby 
      aka Precocious Ruby 
      aka Porphyry Ruby 
      aka the Pygmy-axe book 
      aka Programming Ruby, the Pragmatic Programmer's Guide
  ) 
has a brief chapter on Ruby/Tk, I think there will still be a
continuing stream of interest in this.

That's certainly great news, especially given your Japanese-English 
fluency.
