no way, it took me 2 years to get my work visa approved. I finally got smart and applied for a half japanese visa being half japanese. However this took about the same amount of time. The japanese goverment takes too long to process anything therefore just go there and set up shop and keep a low profile and do it illigally on a tourist visa they will never know

good luck
