You would need 2 different bank accounts (American and Japanese), and 2 different Paypal accounts (American and Japanese). I suggest Shinsei because you can link a Shinsei account to Paypal, a Japan Post Office bank account cannot be linked to Paypal.
It's interesting to learn that Western Union is returning, but they charge about 4 times what Paypal charges for transfers.
Another benefit to Shinsei is that you can withdraw money at any 7-11 store with no ATM fee.
