You cant change it, and also, you cannot transfer data between a Japanese 3DS and a English 3DS. Gamestop CANNOT do that either. Plus, data saved on the SD Card of the Japanese 3DS also cannot be transferred to ANY 3DS what so ever, besides the music and pictures you put on it yourself.

You Can't Change It. But I would suggest changing it at gamestop and get all the memory you had on the japanese one transfered to the english one. I Hope this helps

If you're willing, and have the tools and know-how, you could probably just swap the motherboards of a Japanese 3DS with that of any other region's. I can't swear it'll work, but I did the very same with my old DSi. Like the 3DS, it's region locked too. It works just fine. Plus, you get to keep any previously installed software and whatnot.

Memory is stored on the Mother board, and if you change the motherboard, that memory is gone. Also, you WONT be able to use any software thats on the sd card that was from the old motherboard due to anti-copying precautions.
