Congratulations. Your spousal visa puts you in the same situation as the hundreds of thousands of able bodied Japanese citizens looking for work in one of their worst economic climates.

Your ability to beat the system only means that the Japanese govt has missed their opportunity to weed out an individual who may end up leeching their system.

Have you thought about the type of skills you can present which will put you head and shoulders above the competition? Your knowledge of English is probably the obvious skill but you'll be competing against university graduates.

That's a pretty bold statement for someone who's never even visited Japan.

BTW, I'm not trying to pick on you. I'm just treating you like the dozens of other starry eyed members who stroll onto this site to tell us that they've decided to move to Japan.
