Yeah, he can transfer any visa from one type to another but I get the impression that Air wants to be able to work while studying to help with living expenses and such in Japan so waiting for his studies to be completed before he starts working may not be an option for him.
Oh yes, also there are many limitations to a spousal visa in Japan that makes it harder to get in some cases than a working visa. Thats the reason why so many married westerners in Japan have working visa status rather than spousal status.
