As a foriegner trying to live as a musician in Japan you are looking at an uphill battle. Not impossible, but uphill.
I played in a couple bands in Japan and did several shows, and basically after paying the club, the profits were enough for everyone in the band to buy a couple beers. We didn't do it for the money, obviously, but we had to get people to pay 25 or 30 bucks to come see US play. This is, of course, after paying for studio space to practice.
Visa-wise, you need a sponsor. The easiest way will be to marry a Japanese, but after a University degree you can likely find teaching work. I have no idea about modeling, but there is no visa there, I am sure.
