How to Work a US Remote Job While at a Japanese Company?

Hello,
I’ve seen variations of this question asked, but nobody in my exact situation, and nothing in the wiki, so I figured I’d ask here.
I will be moving to Japan next year under an International Relations/Engineering/etc. work visa. I currently reside in the US, working a remote side job doing copywriting (a category that falls under my visa type). I am a freelance contractor for them, and they have other workers in different countries in Europe, so me being in Japan won’t be an issue for them. My Japanese company doesn’t have any clause saying I can’t have another job, so theoretically it would be okay with them.
My main question would be, is there any sort of form or anything I would have to fill out to let immigration know I have this other job type, or would I have to get separate permission from another entity? Or would I be fine as long as I file all my taxes accurately come tax season?
The Japanese job isn’t paying much, so I don’t think I would be able to survive without another job…
Thanks in advance!
