Yup, JET. That's the program I'm in, actually. If you want, I could tell you all about the program. It's a good way to come to Japan, and I recommend it.
Or make a little guide to annoying questions like this on your profile. Just the little stuff people ought to know. I learned of a interesting program today where you go to Japan and teach english for 2 years if you have your BA from college. I may look into it some time. It's called JET or something like that.
That is an outstanding question. They use two prong outlets, and most American 2-prong plugs will fit them. 3-prong plugs will not, though. Also, I suspect there is something different about Japanese current. My American laptop kept having hard drive issues if I started it up while it was plugged in.
You know, I ought to mention that in a video some time.
Well, if I go I'll bring my spikes in case they work. If not, I can still at least practice in my normal shoes. Oh, and something I was wondering, do they use the same outlets as we do in America? I'd like to know so I can find out if it'd be possible to charge my iPod or not. :)
Now that I think about it, the field is actually a hard packed mix of sand and dirt. I can't say how it would hold up to spikes, I'm afraid. I'm not much of a track enthusiast. I know the baseball kids get pretty good grip with their cleats.
Okay. Cause where I live in Oregon, the poorest track I've seen was some school had one I think made of tar. It stuck to your track spikes and made a big mess of things. :P I'm not sure which one I'd hate more- tar where it sticks, or dirt where spikes don't do anything.
Most schools I've seen have an extensive packed dirt field. When they need a track, they draw one on the dirt with chalk. Of course, I'm in a countryside school, so it might be different in cities.
How common is it to have dirt tracks in Japan? I saw many schools without tracks at all when looking from google earth briefly. I might go to Japan over the summer, and I'm a track person myself, so it'd be interesting to know.

I could always do both, actually...

Tar? Geez, that sounds awful.

That's true, nobody wore any shoes during cheering. Not sure why that is, either.
