cant type japanese characters using mozc-ibus after upgrade

Ive been enjoying typing japanese until recently
but probably after I executed pacman -Syu
whenever I change to japanese input
im typing english characters instead of japanese characters
im confirming that i changed to japanese input since ibus is showing the indicator for my desktop
i have

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

in my .zshrc .xinitrc
and uncommented ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen (locale-gen was executed after that obviously)

ibus CJK input sill works for me. Maybe recheck your settings by ibus-setup?

cat .xinitrc
\builtin declare -rx XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
\builtin declare -rx GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
\builtin declare -rx QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
\builtin declare -rx QT4_IM_MODULE="ibus"
/usr/sbin/ibus-daemon -drx &

ibus-daemon --daemonize --replace --xim
run ibus as background process.
if there is an old ibus-daemon is running, it will be replaced.
execute ibus XIM server.
--xim is the key to get it working.
