I read the previous mailing list posts...I thought I saw you said:
The regular is too bold for display for Japanese, and you want Demi-Light as the default UI font. If so, it needs fontconfig tweaks because by default fontconfig may choose Regular...
Not by me but I guess it is related to the problem that by querying "Noto Sans CJK JP Regular", fontconfig answers "Noto Sans CJK Medium", which causes the Regular looks too bold. This problem has been already fixed. As far as I tested, the Regular weight is fine on normal (96 DPI) display.
Well...I don't know if we can detect screen resolution in fontconfig...but maybe small screen "definitely" has smaller DPI or something we can take advantage of?
This problem is difficult to resolve by fontconfig tweak. Tweaks in applications will be necessary.
Well...I really don't know about the difference of proportional and monospace... but there's monospace for Noto CJK JP...can you give me some links so that I can catch up?
http://mix-mplus-ipa.osdn.jp/migu/feature_kana_proportional.svg A picture from discussion in M+ and Migu fonts. The font above provides proportional Hiragana and Katakana glyphs (like the current default IPA PGothic) and the other one provides monospaced ones (like Noto Sans CJK).

Other concerns are, as I said before, - The line height of Noto Sans CJK is too big, some applications does not fit with 800 px screen.

- Japanese are familiar with proportional Hiragana, Katakana glyphs but Noto CJK does not provide them. On the other hand, since mac and Android now use monospace Hiragana and Katakana, Noto Sans might be acceptable.

4. the symbol part.
Yes...I read that before. It's really the time for us to support emoji/colored symbol by default.
But first I need to ping darix hard to set up an upstream github.com/openSUSE/fonts-config for us.
For years...we just modify the source tarball of fonts-config package to include new tweaks.
That's not good.
