Look through this section. I bet a lot of your questions are already answered. If not feel free to ask.

(No offense, but this EXACT same post comes up a few times a week. The more specific the question you have, the better chance you are going to get a good answer.)

For a foreign artist? not very likely. You need to be incredibly talented and fluent in Japanese.

For work, you need a work visa. To have a work visa, you need a sponsor. Not all companies are legally able to sponsor foreign worker visas. You have to be able to prove you have some special skill that a native Japanese worker isn't going to have. 99.99% of the time that is your native language. English (or Spanish, French, Chinese) teaching is the most common job for foreigners.

Translation is a good business. Obviously English is a big market, but already flooded. I am sure there are many Spanish translators (especially if the interest in Japan is high in the Spanish-speaking world) but not nearly as many as there are in English. IT is a big market, but I think your Japanese needs to be on a pretty high level to work for a Japanese company. It might be worth investigating local companies with offices in Japan.
