Some smart suggestions from the Miami_Coordinator on the JET Forums (in that questions thread that I mentioned) included things that you can and maybe should be doing, if you are getting a head start. These are things that make you a better applicant, but are not 100% necessary. But, they are all good things to do ^_^
-study Japanese (it's cool, you know you want to)
-volunteer
-attend some cultural classes/events (specifically for Japan would be good)
-study for a TEFL/TESL certificate (especially good if teaching ELLs is something you are interested in)
-work with international students
-assist with kids clubs or classrooms
All good things ^_^ Just some advice for passing the time. I'm currently studying Japanese, interning at a high school, looking into a TESOL program (with a practicum which is awesome!), and built a Writing Center. If I can do it, anyone can do it ^^; I promise it's not SOOO hard... Eheheheh... Heh... It may be harder once I have a place to live and a job, but for now, it's working okay >.>
