You misunderstand.  That's not the resolver that Francois is using.
It's the authoritative name server for the domain he's trying to resolve
(maibokun.com).

wooledg:~$ dig NS maibokun.com
[...]
;; ANSWER SECTION:
maibokun.com.           86400   IN      NS      ns3.fas.jp.
maibokun.com.           86400   IN      NS      ns.maibokun.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns.maibokun.com.        163881  IN      A       210.143.111.171
ns3.fas.jp.             77481   IN      A       210.143.111.241

As a *workaround*, sure, he could use a public resolver like Google's
8.8.8.8 as a sort of "proxy" that the Japanese name server is willing
to talk to.  But short of that, he is completely cut off by the
router on the Japanese end.
