Are you sure this will still work? I tried this a month ago or so. In order to use a gift card during checkout, you have to first create an iTunes account on the Japan iTunes Music Store. In order to create an iTunes account, you need to have a Japanese credit card. So you're back to square one.

You can't use an iTunes account you've created in the U.S. or elsewhere either. You need to create one specifically on the Japan iTunes Store. And, again, I can't find any way to do that without a Japanese credit card.
