Moving to Japan as a new grad data analyst?

Going to be a fresh grad with a data analyst/swe-adjacent degree. Always floated around the idea of living in Japan in my head. Japanese language ability is not high enough to reasonably qualify me for any jobs, but I think I can reach N2 if I grinded it out for for the rest of college. Is there a path for me?

Seems like I need a few more years of experience working in order for me to be worth hiring by any of these companies? Would be starting as an analyst, but hoping to find a data scientist position ASAP. Does anyone have any opinions on the job market for data roles? Would I have anything to gain from pursuing a masters in Japan for a analytics/DS program?
