Switching to japanese or chinese keyboard quickly

Hi, I updated my Xperia Z3 to Android 5.0 and I wonder if there is a way to quickly switch from the italian keyboard to the chinese or japanese keyboard. With the previous version of Android I could pull down the notification bar and change input method, but with the latest update there's no more this possibility. I have to go to settings>language&input>current keyboard and change the keyboard here. So annoying and time consuming!
Is there an easy way of doing it? If not I suggest to solve this problem in the next update because this way is very very uncofortable for people who have to write in different languages in the same text. Tanks!

Hi,

It's also possible in Android 5.0. If you go to a new text message > Tap once on the text field "Write message" so your keyboard appear > In the bottom right corner at the navigation bar (back, home and recent app button) you should see a keyboard, if you tap this keyboard you can change to Chinese/Japanese.

If you cannot see the keyboard I'm referring to, go to Settings > Language & input > Current Keyboard > Choose keyboards > Enable Chinese/Japanese.
