The blue cable you've ordered - does it have one small plug(to go into your laptop ) at one end and a larger plug at the other end? Or does it have 2 small ones?

(Bear in mind this answer comes from a Brit who travelled to the US a lot with work, not from an American) If the other end is a smaller plug it can plug into either network jacks (like you'd have in your office) or, I think, an American phone line. Whereas in the UK (and probably much of the world, though I haven't been to Japan) you can only plug the smaller plug into a network jack or DSL/broadband jack. Our normal phone line jacks take bigger plugs - they look like the smaller ones, but wider, and the little bit you have to press to plug it in is on one of the short sides not the long side. Pic just below:

Larger plug - a phone line plug in UK (and other places)

The smaller version, what you use for DSL/broadband connections, and also normal American phone lines I think looks like this;
