Using paypal in Japan? - 08-30-2011, 05:28 PM

I moved to Japan in January 2011, and lived in California prior to that. I was working a little, as a J-E translator but since I moved I have no way to recieve payment anymore. I cancelled my Chase bank account back in the U.S. and I have a MUFG/UFJ account now, but apparently they don't support paypal (and they told me I couldn't use it).
Is there a bank in Japan that supports paypal? Are there other alternatives I could use, if there aren't any that do? Because I haven't been paid fully by my commissioners yet, and I'd like to keep translating. I've tried International Money Orders (or summat) via the post office, but not every country supports it, and the fee is a bit much.
