@cectaxesnz , assuming that you are US citizen/Resident ( Green Card ), the fact that you are having different incomes and from different countries does not matter in filling out form 2555. All you need to show is your travels during the test period ( probably 01/01/2019 through 12/31/2019 , since you have been filing 2555 for the last five years ). During the foreign income interview you have to make sure your total foreign income is accounted for. Also since you are self-employed ( in Japan ), you would have to fill out Schedule-C recognizing the gross income and the associated / allowable expenses. Note that this will result in Self-Employment taxes ( equivalent to FICA that US wage earners pay ) to be levied. You have to make sure that the total foreign earnings are correct ( i.e. from both NZ and Japan ).
But just ONE form 2555
Do you need more help
