Teaching on the side is considered a job on the side of teaching. Are you looking for a side job other than teaching?  
Seriously, what qualifications do you have? What Japanese language ability do you have (or think that you have)? What special skills can you offer an employer? Are you willing to risk working a job outside your visa parameters? Where will you be living?
Think that you're coming to Japan to teach and don't get your hopes up too high finding other employment outside teaching until you have another skill to offer. That's being realistic. |

Can you:
pull a pint?
mix a cocktail?
distribute flyers or tissue packs to the unwary? |

You're asking without providing any information to the questions I had. You want a side job but aren't willing to provide any further information other than that "darling" photo of yours.  I also pointed out the facts and what to expect. I'm not "upitty" in the slightest. |

alright. i got yah now. the language is still coming for me. im just using home software right now to get into the language (rosetta stone) so its slow going on that front. im a cna (which is just a nice bonus) and i have great experience with business and adminstration jobs which i won't dive into great detail onto the web with. BA, double majored. I have a pretty good idea of how to handle myself. upitty was a bad word i see that now. But don't think that Im walking into japan without having some background. |

Free rice and all the enlightenment you could ever want.
And don't mind Canuck, he's about as bitter as a ゴーヤーバーガー. |

Based on what you've posted here, without better language ability, you're going to be pretty limited in find extra work outside of teaching. (and then there's the whole visa issue) |

Monk, yes,...boiled rice, no..
There is voice work, transcribing, and editing work, and even wedding gigs (as a guest or as the pastor, but then you need some Japanese), but a lot of these you need contacts and to keep your ears and eyes open. |

free rice eh? im down with that. all the enlightenment though...... sounds dangerous. too much of that heard is bad news. opening the third eye too much and all.
nevertheless, im going to submit an application.  |
