So assuming I would be interested in gaining employment in Japan, which I actually am, working for a BFFM in Tokyo would be one of the better options to pursue? Any particular ones that you have heard to be nice places to work?

From HN meetups, which is most of my exposure to the Tokyo tech grapevine, I have heard good things about a gigantic multinational advertising firm and an assortment of finance companies. Tokyo's a big place and every industry you've ever heard of, and most multinationals in those industries, has some presence there.

I went to my first one last month a week after the earthquake and saw it here on HN. You should definitely come out for the next one which will probably show up here:
It looks like the founders of MakeLeaps (po and jason_tko on HN) have been organizing them roughly every two months for about a year now. I was thinking of bugging them pretty soon to see when they were thinking of having the next meetup.
