Actually it's not that easy even if you are fluent in Japanese to get a job with a Japanese company. The employer will have to show pretty good reason as to why they are choosing a foreigner to fill a position if they wish to sponsor your work visa. So most of the opportunities for foreigners in jobs like IT will be through foreign companies with branches in Japan. Getting jobs here for positions other than english teaching is not like competing for a job in your home country. Getting a job in any overseas country is not as easy as getting one in your home country unless you have very specialised skills which are uncommon in the country you are looking to get a job in.
