Any advice to a graduating business student hoping to live and work in Japan? I am currently taking language lessons.

Japanese ability is sufficiently rare past 2-kyuu that you're hirable with basically that plus standard professional mien, but "any commercially valuable skill + willingness to live in Japan" is probably easier. A mistake I made so you don't have to: Don't become a salaryman.

You get a job in Tokyo the same way you get a job anywhere else: find someone with hiring authority and convince them to hire you. This generally involves networking, which is easier to do from on-the-ground. I'm most acquainted with how it works in tech industry.
