    There is another way to switch the language right away, in case you want to play with Japanese voices right away. You start the game and let the first cutscene start. This creates an auto-save. If you turn the game off and reboot it, you wont start the story mode again, like before, but you can now enter the options from the titlescreen. Then after changing your language, you can simply start a new game and rewrite it over the auto-save. Done!
