I'm pretty sure it will work.
2 :
As long as they are legitimate copies of the game and not pirated, any region's games will work on any region's PS3, it's not region locked for PS3 games. You won't be able to play any non-PAL PS1/PS2 games or non-Region 2 DVDs on it though. Also bear in mind that it's likely to be in Chinese/Japanese.

Do I have to buy an adapter for my Bose 3-2-1 stereo to work in Japan
Do I have to buy an adapter for my Bose 3-2-1 stereo to work in Japan?
Japan voltage is 100 volts. Bose stereo works on 115V to 120V. Do I have to buy an adapter for my Bose to work in Japan?

It MAY work properly, but you'll have to try it and see. I had some units that were fine, and others that wouldn't power up at all. I also brought back a 100V guitar amp that I figured would die an early death running at 120VAC, and it's still working 30 years later.

No. It works fine

Is it hard to move and work in Japan
Is it hard to move and work in Japan?
Hello, I'm 17 but planning to move to Japan when I'm 18 or 19. I know Japanese well (I'm still learning), and I was wondering if I'd get paid well working as a translator. I'm also thinking about modeling and\or fashion design. Are they good job choices for a place like Japan? I'd really like to get answers from natives but if you live in Japan and have an idea of how things work there, don't hesitate to answer ^_^ thanks in advance :*

You need working visa if you want move to Japan and work. But you need 4 year degree if you want to get working visa, as a translator or what. You have to think how to get a degree first.

I do not know how well your Japanese is but a translator is not only about the language. There is an exam to be a professional translator in Japan. And it requires you to know a lot of knowledge in variety of fields such as economy, history and so on. So if you do not understand the culture and stuff, it would be very hard to be a translator. For the design stuff, you may need some portfolio, degree and/or career in that field. For the modeling, it may work but you have to expect that they may treat you as a GAIJIN. In any cases, you need to find a visa support before moving there and need to show some degree or any other proof that you worth it for them to pay the expensive visa. I don't want be mean but I should tell you that moving to Japan is very hard but not impossible. And easiest way to go there is as a student or an English teacher. In fact, so many people go there to teach English at first and get a desired job later on. Good luck ;)

Sorry to tell you, but moving so soon isn't possible.Im not a native Japanese,but I can answer your questions. In most situations you need a four year degree to work in Japan.Or at least 10 years experience in your selected job field.This is what the Japanese government wants. To work as a translator you would need native level Japanese.This will take years to learn. You need a work visa to work in Japan.And to get the visa you need a job offer before you get there.You can double check what I've told you by going to the site below.

Will my credit cards (Visa and Master) work in Japan
Will my credit cards (Visa and Master) work in Japan?
Hi! I am going to study in Japan for 6 weeks this summer, and I was wondering if my American credit cards will work there? Or should I just carry cash? Any tips and ideas about living in Japan would certainly help me a lot too! Thank you very much for your time!

Nice trip! You should exchange your currency into yen. Now you can do this at the airport. Find out what's the different between the two going rate. When I went to Europe. Each exchange for dollar to euro I lost money. For every 20 dollars I lost 7. :(
2 :
When I went, I had a Visa card, a bunch of traveler checks, and cash. Some places I could use the Visa, which was quite nice, but a lot of places you can't. However, if you go to an ATM in a post office, you can use the ATM to get money off of it. For some reason, other ATMs I found didn't take my card (I'm assuming they just weren't prepared to deal with foreign cards), but it was still convenient. The checks I could exchange at either a post office or certain banks (Mizuho Bank was the only one that I found would do it, but they're EVERYWHERE and if you go into a different bank and ask, they'll point you to the nearest one that will.) As for cash, it's accepted everywhere, and you'll NEED it if you're going to be riding a train or subway, but, as I'm sure you know, it's not secure. So just carry what you need for a few days and keep the rest on your card or in traveler's checks. ALSO, if you're going to go with travelers checks, make sure you have a phone number and address to give them. They'll make you fill out a little slip. If you don't have that info, there'll be a problem. ESPECIALLY if you don't speak Japanese. Then there'll be a problem that you don't understand the solution for! Oh, and carry your passport on you in case they ask for ID. In summary, I'd suggest a combination of the three. When you first get there, make sure you find the banks and post offices in your area and the hours they're open so that you don't find yourself without money and screwed one day.

Credit cards issued in the US work fine in Japan. However, before you leave for Japan, make sure to call your card issuer's customer service to let them know you will be out of country; otherwise, you may not be able to use your credit cards overseas. If they detect "unusual transactions" (e.g., transactions overseas), they may suspend your cards. Although more merchants accept credit cards now than ever, Japan is still cash-oriented society. So, I would bring both credit cards and cash. As you may know, when you exchange money, they charge you a fee. So, plan carefully when you get yen; otherwise you would pay a fee again to convert it back to USD when you come back. In this sense, credit cards are easier. Your card issuer will bill you in USD (i.e., converted) along with a "foreign transaction fee," which is about 2.5%~3%. With credit cards, at least you would not have to convert yen back to USD, paying fees twice. I'm from Japan, but I live in the US. When I visit my family in Japan, I use my credit cards for big purchases (e.g., hotel, Shinkansen), and use cash for small purchases (e.g., food, subway tickets). I was in Japan last month, and I used Amex since their fee was lower than what my Bank of America Visa would have charged.
