Ixarku, I believe you have an admirer-slash-stalker.

And getting a masters in English in Japan doesn't exactly sound like a great idea.

Who said in English??? I'm goint to study japanese for real starting from june :)

That's pretty cool. In a weird coincidence, I too am actually going to be going to Japan in a year and a half to study Japanese as well, though I'll only be there for a year. By that point I should already be reasonably competent-ish, since I'll have been studying it for two years at that point. Any idea where in Japan you're going to be going yet?

I'm not sure about that. But i'll be in Tokyo for sure. Well i want to study law. But there is a japanese friend of my dad in one of Tokyo's Univeristies. We'll ask him :)

Law isn't the type of subject that works intercountrywise. Unless you intend to master in some overarching speciality like general Asian law or Marine law or something. If you just get a law degree, it'd be very doubtful that it would be recognised back in your homeland.

I won't be returning to my homeland. That's for sure. And i'm not sure if it would be law.. i'm only starting to think about it.
Even then. The advice works both ways.

By all means, do go to Japan, but be realistic about it. To be accepted in a masters degree course in law, you will need to have a background in Japanese law or at the very least a background in Continential law and Anglo-American law which is what their system is based on. You will also have to have to pass the N1 proficiency level in Japanese to secure a job as a qualified professional down there.

Are you really up for that?

So what would you advise me to study in Japan??

Further your studies in the field you are currently studying. If that is not an option, forget about Japan, at the very least for an MA.

Japan's a place I'd like to visit, but would not consider immigrating or living there for any extended period. Though perhaps the stories of intolerance are somewhat outdated and I'm being ungenerous. I doubt I could immigrate, even with a master's degree and nothing marring my personal history or CV.

Languages and some international credibility can be useful for an eventual law degree, my mother found it useful for applying to working at larger firms - particularly with regards to immigration law.

As Saras said, your current field of study is probably the only thing you'd be able to study in Japan at present, assuming it's something taught in universities over there. The alternative is changing your degree course completely, and spending a couple more years studying at home before then going to Japan for a year to study your new subject there. Japanese is your best bet, of course, but you'll have to do some research and see what you'd be able to do, since I have no idea.

Law is definitely unrealistic, though. Not to mention the difficulty of teaching yourself Japanese - I'm studying it full-time as part of my degree, and it's pretty tough; I can only imagine that trying to do it by yourself in your spare time would be a million times worse.

LOL, unless there's something going on I don't know about, I don't think that's me.  There are a few other of my fellow Floridians here, and I'm closer to 40 than 30.  Old enough to be father to a few of the miscreants here!
 
But congratulations to Nodame on the opportunity to spend some time in Japan!  I'm hoping to make a return trip to Tokyo next year myself, will depend on what life looks like then for a couple of my friends with whom I'm planning to travel.

My sis just won her first medal in a handball game.

For some weird reason handball is the women's sport in my country, well dominated by them. So it's nice that my little sister is good at it. Add to the fact that she recently started to watch anime, I actually enjoy spending time with here watching anime together, while just over a year ago I could barely tolerate her.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?
