Play Import Games - Kingdom Hearts II

Kingdom Hearts 2 was just released in Japan and I'm wondering if I need to buy a Japanese PS2 in order to play the game or if there is some type of software trick or a boot disc I need to use in order to play import titles?

I know they had similar tricks/boot discs for the PSone and the Dreamcast, does anyone know how I can play import titles on my PS2? Just for reference I have the last edition of the thick PS2, the one that supposedly ran quieter and had less issues with disc skipping. I basically have the model PS2 that came out just before they released the slimline PS2.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes you can buy the Flip top for slim or normal PS2 with swap disk v3.6
I did this for Neon Genesis Evangelion 2.
