Japan runs on slightly less voltage than the US. The UK where you live as you said is 220V. You can buy an adapter plug but these do not convert the voltage. If you plug the gameboy charger designed for 100V into 220V it will likely asplode.
Here's how we can give you more help, Tell us what it says on the charger for the gameboy. You said it is in all Japanese but numbers do not translate lol.
Look for markings like these: 110-115V and 50-60hz. Look for a voltage range indication and a frequency range indication. Those are what are important.

Thanks for the explosion warning...I just noticed that it doesn't charge at all through my 2-adapter construction. The Game Boy works for 5 seconds until it turns off...if I had fed it with 220V and made it "explode", it wouldn't start up at all, right?
Well, the Game Boy charger's back looks like this:
INPUT: AC100V 50/60Hz 7VA
OUTPUT: DC5.2V 320mA
INPUT: AC120V 60Hz 4W
OUTPUT: DC5.2V 320 mA
The Game Boy's back looks like this:
Rating: 5.2V .-.-.-.1.6W
Battery: Li-ion(OXY-003)3.8V
Adapter Input: 5.2V .-.-.-.-.320mA
Those numbers are repeated in the manual...hope that helps.
lol
