In order for a alien to open a bank account, get a credit card, sign up for a handphone, basically the simple necessities of life, you need an alien registration card (ARC).
To get the card you need to head down (I suggest teleportation, it's so much faster) to your friendly neighbourhood district office, in this case Shinagawa, where, surprise surprise no one speaks a word of english. Once you get through the usual language issues (with lots of sign language and repeating english words loudly till they suddenly get it) and fill up your form, you get a letter telling you to pick up your ARC in a couple of weeks.
Two weeks isn't that long, I hear it takes up to two months to process the alien registration card if you're from a different solar system and if you're not from the Milky Way, forget it...
Anyway, this card is your life. You need to carry it with you all the time, should the police (or Men in Black) decide to stop you for a random alien check... note to self: do not raise alien antenna on forehead near policemen.
With this card, you can live amongst the humans and experience all the fringe benefits and comforts of life they do, produce this card at a bank and magically, you can open a savings account, do note foreign currency accounts only apply to Earth money; head to the nearest DOCOMO and with a snap of your 8 fingers, you get a handphone. It's like never having left Mars.
Gee whizz! I can't wait till February 5th when I get my card!
