Can I make money from a website while on a unrelated visa?

I work for a Japanese company on a humanities/engineering visa. I’m starting a price comparison website. If that generates income to my Japanese bank account, does it count as if I’m doing work activities that aren’t designated for my visa type so that it’s forbidden? If so, can I circumvent it by having the income go into the bank account I have set up in my home country where I still have citizenship or some other country? I’m thinking it might be okay since a website is worldwide and not exactly tied to Japan.
