ADHD in Japan as a Foreigner.

I'm planning to work in Japan for a few years with an international company in the near future (just setting the scene)
Now, here's the slightly more pressing matter: I'm diagnosed with ADHD in Germany and take medication for it.

It genuinely never occurred to me how to actually get my hands on said medication in Japan. So, I'm wondering if anyone out there has navigated this particular bureaucratic maze, or a comparable issue, and has some sage advice to share? Your wisdom would be immensely appreciated!
Do I need a new diagnosis, or will the German one be accepted?

If necessary, I could manage without it, but it would definitely be a bit rubbish.
