I'd also like some Japan tax help as the tax time is a coming and i have no idea what I'm doing, but I've got some friends who tell me to ignore it and evade...

I don't feel that's the soundest of advice.

If you are making money in the US, you are going to have to declare it and pay tax on it. The money you make in Japan should also be declared but unless it is over 60 thousand or something like that, you don't pay tax on it. Most people I know have not filed until they got home and from what I understand have never had any trouble with it.
