I'm planning on going to to Tokyo in a few weeks, but I have yet to secure a job. I don't want to go through one of the big programs (i.e. JETT, Nova, Aeon, etc.), but I don't have a working visa.

Question is: if I go, will schools be willing to sponsor me for a visa? Many of the job postings I see on the internet say "Applicant must have valid working visa..." it's kinda killing my confidence. Help me out people!
(My major was English and I also have a year in Korea under my belt)

Yes, many companies will sponsor you visa. I assume you have a degree. A better route would be go come to Japan on a working holiday visa, if you are eligible, apply for jobs and change to a regular working visa.
