No more pengantin baru. Its soon-to-be daddy hehehe
Im just from average family, my wife on the other hand is from a decent wealthy family but with a lot of issue. To be honest, I can move straight to Tokyo without worrying what to do IF my mum in law isnt a cracked head. Its a bit personal but i can tell you through PM.
How did you first reach Japan? and what are the things you did that's my biggest concern. If you dont mind sharing, your moving business ist profitable?

Tahniah goin to be daddy soon!
1st of all...Your parent in law and you must be ready for a new culture (both of you...hehehe)
Then shouldnt be a prob. I'm past thru the hardest way...The only Malaysian family live to survive in Tokyo hehhe everyone knows me (Japanese n foreigners but not Malaysia hehehe) I've been thru to survive with labor job, 'pasar malam' in Tokyo, but all with part time workin permit except the mover service I've done.
As said you have to choose the way of life in Tokyo...you cant compare to other prefecture (terms of living cost and culture) OSAKA & TOKYO its different place.
Salary earned & self employed is different too...IF you are choosy sort you cant work as labor if you have a chance then you cant live in Tokyo...I take everything i got...I'm an extras in famous Jap Dorama, I'm also the talent from commercial ads agencies, i'm a runner for a used car, also I'm a trader internationally online or offline and etc etc...BUT my style not like other success people using merz or BM or Ferrari hehhehe...you cant be choosy
My mover services if you continue seriously YES of course in Tokyo...how to manage it?
The only Malaysian own (online based) mover service in Tokyo. Its depend if u talking bout profitable...an example its a biz. sometime within a month u can get 100,000yen sometime you only get 10,000yen and sometime you can earn 300,000yen..its a biz dear....up and down its normal...some more your capital? its from small capital.
IF you wanna ask or learn how to survive you have to meet me in person lah bro hehehe.
I believe, Phyczz n Tatsuyachiba not start their job in Japan itself, they all from Malaysia or other places then to be in Japan..thats why they all have stable base. In other case like Musha...he also to and fro Japan. and his company now got crisis, either he goin to stay in Japan or not?
Everyone have a diff way their life in Japan either to live or to work...But you got advantage, no worries your wifey is Japanese so you will get benefits not like other gaijin, I think u got no worries as long you can accept a new life a new style, hardworkin and not choosy...surely you can live in Tokyo with no hassle. AND you must beware & properly choose with any foreigns or Malaysian to make a friends. Not all of them will be good to you hahaha!
IF you and your wife can change a new life, i recommended you not to stay in KL...try other small places 1st...
