FAQ
Visa Application
Q : I am a student. How much do I need to have in my bank account for visa application?
A : Depends on length of stay. Usually, for holiday <7 Nights, RM3,000 with confirmed flight ticket and hotel reservation is sufficient. Refer to MY Japan embassy to confirm.

Q : How the hell am I suppose to raise that amount of money when I am a student?
A : Work / beg / borrow / sell your PC/Notebook/Motorcycle .  J/k. Before you plan to go to Japan, you must have the money first, then only can plan.

Travelling:
Q : Should I take JR PASS?
A : Depends on which area you are going and length of stay. Check your travelling plan first and its transportation. If not, just purchase normal ticket or get SUICA Card (something like Touch n GO)

Additional hotel
Oak Hotel Ueno (near JR Ueno/Keisei Ueno, Keii's recommendation) : OAK HOTEL UENO

Since i probably get forced leave for 2weeks through new year, was thinking to visit japan.
but darn theres a lot of thinks to know/prepare and its like 3weeks away.
I did quick expedia and the roundtrip ticket is already around usd1.1k
i guess travelling late dec-ealry jan not a good idea?

Do you think its a waste of time if I go there after my Dilpoma to continue studying animation there and graduate there  ?Or I should just get my Degree then only go for a job in Japan ?  Psychzzz , You just graduated when you find job there ?

If it's possible, I think it's actually better to continue your studies here first rather than to complete your degree then look for a job here.
This gives 2 advantages-
1) You'll be more familiar with the animation industry since you're in it first hand.
2) You can start keeping an eye out for job opportunities or perhaps even your Uni will have job recommendations for you before you actually graduate.

In my case; it's a bit different as I actually got offered a job here from a Japanese company when I graduate. So, they became my proxy/sponsor for my work visa and everything else.

Yoyogi is actually a college right ? If I go there after my Diploma ... Which level will I be studying in ? UNIVERSITY ? But then if I go there , Do I have to learn my language or depends ? If I got my Japanese good while in Australia ... I can skip a year of Japanese learning ? This can be considered because my Australia visa is until my graduation in TAFE .
Kei-kunn ... What do you mean ? Specified explanation please ?

make a surat rayuan la to have your leave in march. most company can buat rayuan, as long you have a definite plan 

no, its a plant shutdown. as in factory closed door and halt productions.
so during this period, everyone is forced to take leave/go away.

im still looking for a good ticket bargain.
do help me if you know any.
im planning to visit jp from christmas - new yr.
the cheapest ticket so far is rm2.6k via china eastern airlines
the rest is in 3.4k range
accomodation maybe merempat rumah orang or some cheapo hostel.
as long i can visit c75, akiba, skiing should be ok >_<

I think can work it out ... Diploma in Aus ( Multimedia ) ... Then go continue my U in Tokyo ( Multimedia ) ...Just as you said ... Looking for a job won't be that risky too ... In case of rejection ... Don't have to go back to my own place ... Can slowly find job while studying . This gives me alot of advantage ... I can also get a better grip in Japanese too . University usually offers job to those graduates ...

Sorry... a bit out of my league already... hahaha... perhaps you can ask clemong_888 since he has been a student in Japan for some time. He can offer you some insights better than I do.

yoyogi is a specialized school,college i reckon. i think(not too sure) that it only offers a diploma. to japanese, it doesnt really matter whether u have a diploma or degree. but if ure looking for a degree, u should look at unis.

here's one such uni

http://www.geidai.ac.jp/english/about/index.html

i dunno too much bt the animation industry so i cant help u there.

Haha.. gomen ne~ Just that today a bit slow day in the office so was browsing through and replying the message since it is easier than going back to dig the info.

Btw, mind updating the first post in this thread with the info that Firedauz posted? 

erkk which one ya?
PsyCHZZZ, minta maaf lah...i dunno bro..dah pening banyak sangat info hahahaha!

Just one thing ... I need to learn Japanese for a year there ? Just like everyone does before continue studying their main course . Can I be excuse if I know good Japanese and can write ?

For me ... I think its better for me to have a degree ... As long as I got my diploma...I can go for a degree ? If I got my Diploma and wanna continue my degree there ... Im considered as undergraduate or post graduate ?
Tanoshi...This is most probably my last question ... Since others are cleared ... Thanks to you guys =)
