1) If you fly in Osaka and fly out from Tokyo, you actually not need 7-day JR Pass because you only travel one way via Shinkansen. For Osaka/Kyoto-Tokyo, you need to at least have a return Shinkansen trip to make your JR pass worthwihile
2) JR Pass mostly covers Shinkansen and JR railways. It doesn't cover private railways, subways or metrolines.
3) Plan your route first before deciding to get any special pass and see whether is there any savings. For travel around the Kansai area, I find that you generally don't need to buy special passes because the saving is not much, if any.
Thankyou! now i''m looking around collecting which place i would like to visit then only decide the train line.

No need to so fast decide which pass yet. Just plan ur itinerary first then count the transportation expenses and see if worth the money.

finalize where you really wanna go first. if you get jr pass just to move from city to city, why not take the domestic flight? it could be cheaper than buyer pass for the shinkasen. pass is usually only recommended if you travel to a place far from city and not accessible by airport
checked on the domestic flight, it will cost 900RM from osaka to tokyo on november

tbh, not all places is only JR.
1. I can go Kobe with Hanshin line just 400 yen
2. Go Kyoto also with 400 yen without using JR.
3. Osaka subway can goto almost all attractions.
4. Airport Express by Nankai is just 1000 yen to Namba but if you take JR Haruka to Osaka station but stay Namba u need pay subway fees.
So really depends on where you stay. JR =/= Cover all destination.
JR pass is only worth when you taking JR line from Tokyo to Kansai and back*
But do consider flying from KIX to Tokyo its only RM150++ per pax. Still cheaper than buying 7 days JR pass.
Yes, noted on your comment, i'll study more on rail way line. but i couldn't find RM150+ flight ticket tho, only found 900+
