What kinds of models get work in Japan

What kinds of models get work in Japan?
I am a 21 yr old Caucasian Australian model with blond hair and pale skin. I am 5'10'' and size 8-10. Would I be able to get modeling work, either commercial or runway, in Japan? I am with an Australian agency already but would love to work overseas! Thanks for your help :-)

Why don't you contact with model agencies in Japan? Many Australians work as models there.

Can a Wii bought in Japan work in New Zealand

Can a Wii bought in Japan work in New Zealand?
Hi!!!! For my son's birthday I want to buy him a Wii. Problem is we will move back to NZ next year and I'm wondering if the games etc are going to be compatible. I've got an adapter for the power so don't worry about that. Any help would be most appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it would however, if hats the case why not buy him a wii in New Zealand?
2 :
I'm sorry to say, but I've just been to Japan myself and I was told not to buy any of the wii games because they would not be compatiable with Australian Wii. However, there is a chance what I was told was wrong. I'm quite sure that it would work if the too systems are the same. In Australia (and assuming New Zealand is the same) we use the PAL system. Check to make sure that the Japan Wii's are PAL also.

Sorry no... unfortunately all wiis and games bought in japan only work in japan. Japan has a special NTSC format that is even different from the North American NTSC. If you plan on buying games in new Zealand(most people buy more games) than your gonna need a PAL Wii.

Get a degree in the US first. Take JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) Level1, if you don't have. Japan is not immigrant country like the US. 98% of the population is Japanese. And Japan do not issue working permit to simple jobs, such as waitless, dishwasher and janitor, etc. Going to Japanese Univ is another option.
2 :
To get a working visa, you must have a job first. The company that sponsers you will give you paperwork to take to the Japanese Embassy. For a foreigner to get a job in Japan, most companies require at least a university degree. Good luck!
3 :
I guess it's very difficult. My friends need to work in Japan because the companies employing them request to do. The other cases I know are very few. If you are lucky and talented, you might move to Japan. 1) US army in Okinawa, or navy in Yokosuka 2) “Disney land” group is searching casts. ( like as “Cinderella” ) If you are NOT US citizen, you might be able to apply for a Working Holiday Visa.

If you can get working holidays visa and also likes to skiing or snowboard may be you can look for the job in Niseko Hokkaido One more may be if you can apply for ALT teacher for Japan, teaching English to high school students I think this is easy way
