US International Postal Money Order to Japan

Here is some info that I got off of the US postal web site FAQ about postal money orders. Below are also pictures of a regular US postal money order and a US international postal money order to Japan.

Type 2: Direct international postal money orders.
     An MP1 form (a pink colored negotioable document, similar to a
     traveler's check) is purchased at a U.S. Postal Service retail
     window. This document may be mailed directly to the intended
     recipient and may be cashed at most banks worldwide, or through
     the destination country's Postal Service (see list below of
     participating Posts).

     Cost: $3 per money order.
     The maximum amount for a single postal money order is $700,
     unless otherwise noted in parentheses. Service is available to:

     Albania, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize,
     Bolivia, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cape Verde, Dominica,
