If you do have in fact a SIM that works both in S. Korea and in Japan then you should be able to insert it into any Quad Band Cell Phone and it should work. Please check out this web site for more info.
2 :
if a cell phone is absolutely necessary buy one in each country. not all sims in american phones in all countries. they are cheap to buy---especially if you :pay as you go" with minute cards.
3 :
buy a sim at your destination
4 :
If you have a 3G phone, then you can use it both in Korea and japan. if your phone is not 3G, then it can't work. Japs and Koreans use CDMA phones, which is also equivalent to 3G phones.

3g world phones will work

Will a 120V hair straightener work in Japan
Will a 120V hair straightener work in Japan?
I brought a Remington hair straightener today that works on worldwide voltage. However I noticed on the iron that it says 120-240V~. Will this still work in Japan, but only slower?

Japan runs on 100V, but if your hair straightener runs on 120V, it "should" be okay. For a short trip, nothing bad will happen. It's only 10V. However, if you plan to live in Japan for up to a year, you may consider buying a new one. I have a set of electric clippers that broke on me, but only after 2 years in Japan, and it was already over 7 years old when it broke. It wasn't "worldwide voltage" rated. Only North American rated. Japan also runs two types of Hz cycles. 50Hz in Tokyo and 60Hz in Osaka. It shouldn't be a big problem either.

How to live and work in japan
How to live and work in japan?
Say you know the japanese lingo mildly well,and you live in america, hoping to live in japan. How do you get a ob there,how do you get a house, do you do it ahead of time or sleep on the street untill you find a place to live as well as a place to work. But more questions ahead,such as do you need to have a document to work in another country as well as live there and where do you get one???

It's not that simple. You just can't go there and sleep on the street while looking for work. A tourist visa is only good for 90 days. And you can't legally work on a tourist visa. To get a work visa you need to have a job waiting for you. Most Americans there teach English. And you need at least a BA / BS degree to do that. You can't even get a job at McDonalds unless you can speak Japanese as well as a native born Japanese. Unemployment is going up there, and many young people are looking for work. Guess who'll get hired first ? Rents are very high, and many landlords won't rent to a non-Japanese. And yes they can get away with it. Sorry, but if it was so easy, I'd be in Japan right now myself !

Well there is always the JET program. This program put on by the Japanese government invites English speakers to teach English to Japanese student in Japan. They provide your job. salary, and place to live. There are also other jobs available that they offer.

The first problem would be your visa. In order to work legally in Japan, you need a working visa. In order to get a working visa, you need to have some business or organization sponsor you for that visa. So depending on what field you would be working in and organization sponsoring you, you would have to provide proof that you are able to work in that field. Once all your documentation is mailed to your sponsor, the burden is now shifted to your sponsor. They will have to go to immigration with all their financial statments etc. to show immigration that they can afford to hire you. Then once they get approved, immigration will issue the "certificate of elegibility" which your sponsor would then mail to you. Once you receive it, you would have to go to the Japanese embassy with the CoE and then they would stamp your passport with the necessary visa. As for living arrangments, you would have to ask either a friend to find something for you, or your sponsor to find something for you. Then, once you get here, make some contacts, aclimatize to Japanese culture, you can find your own place. Good luck.
