So this game is supposed to be infamous for its difficulty, no?
No not really. Unless you're just terrible at these type of games. There's a Normal and a Difficult mode. Normal mode is really just super easy mode and Difficult mode is the Japanese normal mode.
Plus there's the issue of a password system instead of a proper save system, right? Does that mean that I will need to keep a notebook to note down passwords?
The game can be beaten in an hour so it really shouldn't be an issue
