Most laptops work fine, and will adapt voltage automatically. If it needs a 3-prong power connection, you may want to buy a 3-prong-to-2-prong adapter, since almost all power plugs in Japan are 2-prongs only. Edit: 2 prong and 3 prong means the type of power plug, if there are 2 parts that plug into the wall then it's 2 prongs. You can get an adapter at Radio Shack or a good hardware or electronics store.

Yes, it will work. Like siad before you will need a 3 prong to 2 prong converter. About the internet, if you have a hard connection it will work perfectly. If you're using wireless you will have a few problems. They use a different style of wireless that your card will be able to pick up, but will not get a clear connection and the computer will not realize it's connected. Either way, geting computer software in Japan is as easy as looknig for a fish in an aquarium. You can go to the tech center, or any shopping center will have a yodobashi, or a bik camera.

I think that it should; my uncle and aunt both have one that they brought from Texas and it works in Japan.

Yes it will work. Wireless internet connection may or may not be as smooth. If you have problems you should be able to get a tech guy to get you on wireless, otherwise you can just hook it up to a cable modem. =)
