An apostille should be done first, and translation should come next. The Japanese translator must translate the entire document (including the details of the MEA apostille sticker itself). If you translate the degree first and then get it apostilled, the Japanese authorities will formally reject your document.
You need the Apostille for the COE stage (sent to Japan by your employer/school). The Japanese Immigration Bureau needs to see legalized documents to issue your COE.
Generally, Japan prefers the Final Degree Certificate. However, for the COE application, they may accept an apostilled provisional certificate only if it is accompanied by an official letter from the University Registrar stating exactly when the final degree will be issued. Be prepared to apostille the final degree as soon as you get it.
