Good luck.

Also be aware that Japanese will take you many times as long to achieve the same level of ability as in Spanish. Until recently, despite having only studied Spanish for three years about 10–15 years ago, I could still read it better than Japanese even though I'd studied Japanese for four years and lived in Japan for one.

That being said, it is no longer true. I have a much better grasp of Japanese thanks to my flashcarding over the past year.
