Hello Yuri,
thanks for the explanation. Quite some work to do for you. Maybe,
this site is able to help you a bit. It allows to download MS or
ASCII files of historical data for almost all important stocks traded
around the world - among others also for the Nikkei 225 and Nikkei
300 stocks, some other asian exchanges too. You have also the
possibility to create custom stocklists for downloading.

You have to register.It's not a free service, but reasonably priced,
considered all the work you do manually.
regards
