The health part - possibly. But I really don`t think most people are more laid back. Everyone is worried about saving for their future, about working, about future stuff in general. I don`t know if they ways of showing it are the same, but people do care about the future.

At the moment i have a 1 year student visa and my semester will end in may. My plan is to try find a job in japan if its possible during the summer and ofcourse a place too stay. And then in october i will apply for 2 year study at a language school and learning only japanese.

I`ll be totally honest - you`ll have a very hard time finding a job on a student visa. Sure, they say they allow part time work, but good luck finding anyone to hire you on that. As English isn`t your first language, it`s probably impossible to teach at an English school, and most other jobs would require working during the times when you would be at school (morning, afternoon). That isn`t permitted with the visa, so good luck on getting enough to stay somewhere... Which brings me to another point - you can`t rent or apply for utilities, etc, on a student visa... And without a real form of income, it will be hard to find someone to sponsor you to do so.
Either way, even if you did manage to keep the student visa after the course is over, and did find someone to sponsor you, it is a *crime* here to employ someone on a student visa without getting direct permission from their school and sponsor....... As you`d no longer be in school, that`s impossible.
I would also really look into the conditions with your visa - a lot of places give long term visas but apply to have them revoked at the end of the course.
My suggestion is, if you want to do all this without leaving Japan, to search for a school *during* your studies, that you can hopefully switch to immediately after you are finished in May. If you don`t have the money for admission, etc... Then there isn`t much of an option other than going home. You`d have no way to raise the money here.
Sorry to be cold, but this is reality.
