I'll take up your question on this.
It is possible to make a living out of such jobs, but not to the extend of "comfortable". But you sure can "survive" with such jobs.
Jobs like these mostly falls into the category of part-time job, known here as arubaito. Assuming you work for 5 days a week at 1000 yen/hour, you can get: 5hour x 1000yen x 5days x 4weeks = 100,000yen/month. To be frank, one can barely survive in Japan with this money. Most foreigners who lives on a shoe-string make it by taking on 2 or 3 part-time jobs in a day.
Bear this in mind. For these kind of jobs, you are most likely not be granted a working visa by any company. You will be on your own. Without a working visa, you will be considered working illegally. Think about it.
