In the order you gave above, they are:

- Control

- Kanji/Hiragana (The smaller characters underneath are 'Kanji bango' [=
 "Kanji number"])

- Muhenkan [="No conversion"]  (The smaller characters underneath are
 'Bunsetsu yomi' [="Sentence fragment reading"])

- Space

- Zenkoho [="Previous candidate"] / Henkan (Jikoho) [="Conversion (Next
 candidate)"] / Zenkoho [="All candidates"]

- Hiragana (Underneath is 'Romaji', i.e. English characters)

- Zenmen ki [="Next screen key"]

- Control


Hope that helps,
