As Rish mentioned, I'm going through Celga to get a copy from Animate - but that's because I'm obsessive about getting all the first-pressing bonus goodies that will disappear over time. If you just want the game itself, places like
Play-Asia may work out cheaper.

And will the thing run on my PS2, or will I need to buy a separate Japanese-localized one?

Since I don't have a PS2, my cunning plan is to import a
Japanese PS3 - not only will it let me play Japanese PS2 games (assuming the backwards compatibility is sufficient), it'll also serve as a Region A Blu-ray player. That's less of an issue if you're in North America, but for us poor schmucks in Region B it's a big win.
Another motivation for the PS3 is that I can run Linux on it and tinker with
Cell programming. Yeah, I'm a nerd
