Well I talked to her a bit more. We may be going after all. We're waiting to see what kind offers we get. Wish us luck!
By the way, godwine - are you in Japan/have been in Japan? I was kind of confused.
Also, thank you for the tips. my wife has been reading this thread as well.

I am not going to suggest whether you should try to convince her, but you have to remember that, everything in life is a trade off, if this is something that you 2 really want to do (to live in Japan), then some personal sacrifices need to be made
Another issue with graphic design is that, its a matter of the subjectiveness in people's judgment towards creativity and art. She really will need to find a company whose product is to be sold outside of Japan, as I am sure that the material your wife was trained in is better suited for wherever you guys are. Just a matter of cultural difference and taste. For graphic design she probably have better luck in the 3D area with the gaming world
Kresin, from what I learned from my uncle, it is a big deal for locals to be out of work. But in the case of a foreigner, it is always a valid reason that the spouse is out of work.
