There is, and if you had read the link that I provided in my first post you would have seen the instructions.

Yes i am positive. If you have purchased from the JList you will also have received instructions on how to use your card.
On their website it says:
Once you have your iTMS Japan code, follow these easy steps:
1. Load iTunes on your Mac or PC, and choose the Japan store from the popup at the bottom.
2. If you've already got an account in your home country, sign out by clicking on the Account button in the upper left hand corner.
3. Click the iTunes Music Card link, and enter the scratch-off number printed on the back of the card.
4. Create a new account, using any address in Japan you like (
you may use ours as a dummy address if you like). You can do this in English or any language that's supported by iTunes.
5. Enjoy purchasing great music and albums from Japan's iTunes Music Store!
This is the text on the page that I linked to in my first post and in fact in a quick search of the forum, I found a
thread devoted to the very subject dating back to December 1st.
Now, the instructions have been printed twice on the forum and so has the link to the JList page. If you can't work it out now, you're on your own.
