Yeah the language can be a problem if you intend to stay here long.
Learn the Hiragana and Katakana first. It's going to be very helpful later on.

as simple as that...

And you can start with the common words right away:

Hello Helen, I will be moving to Tokyo next month or so. I was hoping to establish contact with some Singaporeans within Tokyo and I came across your post. Have you had any luck in touching base with the Singapore community in Tokyo?
