I was recently in Tokyo to play The Punchline Comedy Club.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Don't get down to Tokyo much these days. May have to check it out.
To the OP, yes we have been having a little fun with you. However, to be helpful, it would help to have more information on your situation.
FWIW, just about any job you can find in the U.S., or any other country, can be found in Japan. The key is your qualifications as many require a degree or license of some sort.
If you are Mac knowledgeable, you might consider trying to work as a Mac Genius at one of the Apple stores (Ginza, Shibuya). I know the Ginza Apple Store has a few English (Bi-Lingual) types.
There is always English teaching, which is how many get started in Japan, then make connections and move on. For example, one I know became the head of a major US corporation's Japan operation. Another went on to open a successful Mexican food restaurant.
The bad thing about Tokyo proper (inside the Yamanote Line) is that it is expensive to live there. The apartments tend to be very small and living conditions crowded. That is unless you are on some sort of ex-pat package.
This reminds me of a funny story. The Japanese in general are finicky when it comes to ghosts. A long time ago, I was looking at moving to Ropongi (near the five corners intersection). My friend found an apartment for me that normally rented for close to $4,000/month, but the rent was reduced to under $1,000 because someone had died there recently. I almost took that place. I figured that the ghost would keep me company.
Anyhow, good luck in your search.
