I take it you`ve never gone to another country...
Your passport is stamped with both the day you enter a country and the day you leave it. If you go to Korea for a few days then come back, all the info is right there in front of them. It`s particularly suspicious if you stayed the length of your first visa, and then came right back... The assumption is that you are probably working illegally.

Maybe something like....90 days in Japan, 90 days in America, Japan, America, Japan, etc. Is this a good idea? It will be maddddd expensive, but I have a friend who'll let me live with her so that takes out the problem of finding housing.

I`d be a whole lot more concerned with the cost of travel between the two countries than with where to stay.
I`m sure with enough money you could pull it off... But it would be pointless. You couldn`t possibly push toward obtaining a more long term way of staying. It would just be easiest to go to school and come to Japan a more normal way - unless you want to hop back and forth the rest of your life. Not to mention the difficulty in holding down a job during the US stint to even make enough money for the tickets.
