How about combining your two passions and getting into technical writing (while obtaining a bachelors degree?)

Join a good solid company, publish some papers/documents/manuals, keep up your Japanese skills and I'd imagine that you'd be very marketable if you decide to make the move overseas. You could always resort to teaching English if all else fails.

I remember seeing a job ad for Toyota last year which involved proofreading manuals. Being a car fanatic, it would've been a dream job but it wasn't enough to pry me from my current I/T job.

Best of luck whichever route you choose!
