Not to burst your bubble, but as others have mentioned...this will be extremely hard. And I'm pretty positive you will have to renounce your American citizenship to become Japanese.

1) Getting a Job will be extremely hard on a 2 year degree
2) Work in Japan isn't exactly a cake walk
3) You need to find a job which will have VISA support as well for a working visa
4) Like others have said, you need to be in Japan for 5 or so years first...so good luck with that
5) You're not married to a Japanese so it's even harder....


The quicker route would be to finish up your degree and hopefully find something in your field which can do visa sponsorship or look into the JET program/something similar. Hopefully then, you can figure out a way to stay in Japan and get a good job so you can start the process of becoming a citizen. But yeah, look into becoming a resident first...
