Answer:
Radiation idiots: You're probably more at risk from radiation poisoning in the countries you live in than Japan as Japan has lower natural background radiation levels than many other places.
That said, your best bet is to do 4 years of college in the USA. During those 4 years learn Japanese fluently. Then go to grad school in Japan. That will get you 2-4 years on your way to your 5 needed to be a resident of Japan. It should also give you some footholds into getting a job.
The most important thing to take away from this is that you NEED to speak Japanese FLUENTLY for this to be feasible. Even then the Japanese will avoid hiring a foreigner for a job if they can.
