I actually had old information regarding the regional lock. After some experimenting, I was able to register my current Kindle with my Japanese account and download books from the Japanese store without fiddling with VPN proxies as one has to do on a Mac or PC. So I don’t need a Japanese Kindle after all. I don’t even need it to have 3G network support. As you pointed out, new Kindles have excellent Japanese support.
