With the proper modifications, it's possible, but they can seriously fuck up your PS2 if you get it wrong. But for what a PS2's worth, you wouldn't be losing much.
But Japanese games are a different region format to American.

Yeah, just get the right modifications to it and it will run fine. I remember having an American PS1 console a long time ago and I attempted to run an original on it (you know, the ones with the black underside) and it crashed majorly. Died in a week. -.-
So yeah, mod it up, make sure you get the right one, and enjoy.

You could always use a Slide Card. I've used it for a while, and my PS2 is working perfectly. And yes, you can use your current memory card.

There is a chip you can buy that you can install in your PS2 that can play Japanese game. Try looking for it on ebay. I wish the PS2 had a freeloader.

Get it chipped and you can play Xbox games and all sorts.

Just buy swap magic. Costs less than chipping, doesn't fuck up your ps2, doesn't void your guarantee and is good with cookies.

Agreed, get yourself swap magic, it’s a whole lot easier and no need to tear you PS2 open and mod it.
