The only levels worth it are 1 and maaaaybe 2 (the two most difficult). More important is that you basically become the best programmer in the world because there are plenty of programmers in Japan already, and immigrating there for work is difficult unless you already have work contacts there willing to vouch for you.
The only person I know personally who was able to get a job as a programmer in Japan was an American who spent a year in Japan at a university studying, met someone in the software industry there, and impressed him enough to get the company to sponsor a work visa for him.
He returned to the US, waited for the visa to get approved, then moved back.
But MMM and Nyororin are immigrants to Japan, so you might want to ask them how they did it. As far as I know, neither of them are in the software industry, and MMM is a professional English-Japanese translator.
