However, they weren't commercial payments. They were gifts from family and friends abroad for my son on birthdays and the like. I never experienced any problems, but they did ask in detail what the money was for. I don't know if it would have been a problem had it been a commercial payment, or if it was just policy to ask.

As I explained, payments from a legal entity (hence commercial) are allowed, so if he is a certified translator and hasd a registered business, and pays taxes, it can be received, however, payments from a private person from abroad to a private person in JApan are not executable anymore. This was changed in 2010, I beleive. I understand you can still send money from Japan to another private person outside Japan, though.
