You can't move to Japan like you can move to another state. You must have a visa, which means you either have a job or are in school.

There are tons of live music venues all over the country, and many like having talented foreign acts play. Some former stars, like Steve Stephens and Marty Freidman have rebuilt their careers by learning Japanese and working in Japan.

I think you need to think of HOW you are going to live there, first.
