I’m an Entrepreneur with a music business in the states. I really enjoy performing and I’m looking at different cities to live to grow and play with more musicians. I love Japanese music and dream of playing with the musicians there. Is it remotely possible to find a job and join the music scene? I’m ambitious and will do anything for my dream

> Is teaching English the only way to work in Japan from the US?
No, it depends on your experience/pedigree and sometimes your level of Japanese skills.
> Is it remotely possible to find a job and join the music scene?
Anything is technically possible. Probable, not so much.

What have you done so far? How is your Japanese? Do you have a college degree?

English teaching is only common because it doesn’t require being fluent in Japanese and doesn’t require skills. People who are fluent in Japanese and/or have professional skills can get a job that isn’t English teaching.
Do you have a Bachelor? If not, that is your first step because it’s a requirement to get a work visa.
