Getting a bank account at JapanNet Bank (Mt. Gox's bank)

Has anyone tried this?  Does it make life easier when trying to get non-BTC funds withdrawn from Gox?

I was just in japan trying to do this. It's alot more difficult than one would expect. The japanese don't make it easy for foreigners to open a bank account.

However if you are japanese, or a legal resident of japan, then it is easy, and you don't need to open with the same bank, any japanese bank should work.
