For learning the writing systems and the vocabulary, and retaining it in your long term memory, use a spaced repetition program like Mnemosyne. Mnemosyne is a free and open source version of Supermemo. Supermemo is better but it costs money. There are also free spaced repetition flashcards available for learning Japanese that are already made for you, on the Mnemosyne site.
Be sure to Wikipedia "spaced repetition" first, so you can understand the value and efficiency of spaced repetition software.
