I see no reason why the sim card would not work. Good find this, last time I checked (last october) I couldn't find unlimited data service, I think I'll be goign again this october-ish and usable data connection will make life easier.

Rental SIM cards are available from Softbank, but they charge 2JPY per packet. Overpriced. I don't know if docomo rents SIM cards for their fOma network, you may want to check that out.
If you know someone in Japan with a cellphone, you can get a bmobileSIM. The 6 month and 1 year models are available in stores, while there's a 1 month version you can order online and have shipped to a Japanese address.

A friend and I used the 1 month SIM when I went over for 2 weeks last August. Had to go through Rinkya, a proxy-bid service, and paid an extra 2/3 the cost but it was worth it compared to the 6 month version. Had a friend in Japan activate it, worked like a charm in my N900.
I used Skype for all my voice calls while I was there and it worked quite well.
