Going to Japan with mytouch 3g slide..

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed!

I'll be there for about a week.

I'm working on unlocking my phone to be used overseas (awaiting the code)

I was curious if anyone knew about SoftBank(or any Japanese mobile service) and what services they offered? i have absolutely no idea what i should do. rent a sim, buy a sim, rent a phone, get a phone card. is this phone even an option to use over there?

Thanks!
