Bukkake is a the base form of a Japanese verb, but used alone it is a noun meaning to splash or dash. The verb bukkakeru (to dash [water]) can be decomposed into two verbs: butsu (ぶつ) and kakeru (掛ける). Butsu literally means to hit, but in this usage it appears to be an intensive prefix as in buttamageru (ぶったまげる) or butchigiri (ぶっちぎり). Kakeru means to shower or pour.
Bukkake is most commonly used in Japan to describe a type of dish where the toppings are poured on top of noodles, as in bukkake-udon and bukkake-soba.

Travel.A good airfare deal will cost around $5-600 from SFO. There are better deals here and there if you are patient, flexible and travel out of season. A 2 week JR Pass which included shinkansen (bullet train) access to Osaka cost about $300. If you are under 25 I think there is a discount.
Hotels.I stayed with my friend in Tokyo so that only cost a few dinners ($300). I also brought gifts ($300). So about $60/night. However, we stayed in a hotel in Kyoto (near Osaka) that was about $100/night ($50 split two ways).
Food.Notoriously expensive to dine out (which I highly recommend, unfortunately), but there are some good deals to be had. Beer can be had for cheap ($2-3 sold in vending machines) but in bars/clubs/live music houses it can be about $8 per.
Shopping.You have no idea. On the plus side, most of the Japanese vintage clothing* and record stores (I have been to probably 30-40 of each) only carry things in Mint/A++ condition. On the negative side, they take cash, credit card, and ultimately your soul. *One store owner saw some vintage jeans I was wearing and offered me an exorbinant sum for them due to the good condition and patina. I politely declined.
Baseball Games.Our tickets cost about $150 for 2... wayyyyyyyyy below face value (courtesy of yahoo! japan auctions). The food was good (bento $15) and there are beergirls who carry ponykegs of beer on their back (3 different brands!) so you don't have to leave your seat to get a beer.
Language.Lastly, more expensive than anything I found was the language barrier. Initially, you will be instantly humbled by the vast divide between western language and the three japanese alphabets and spoken language (both formal and colloquial). Yes, quite a bit of young urban Japanese people understand English, but not quite true to make some assumptions that English will get you by. I strongly recommend taking a class or crash course prior to travelling there. As a last ditch resort, I recommend networking with Japanese fluent in English or Western ex-pats just in case.

Taxis are really expensive (the JR trains don't run between 2-6am), like 2xSF/3xNYC prices.

Hotels: You can stay on the cheap if you try. $70-$100 night is totally doable. If you are not traveling alone please be aware that some Japanese places charge PER PERSON and not by room. If you don't mind staying at youth hostels you can lodge incredibly cheaply. And if you're going into Tokyo, there are the capsule hotels which personally I am dying to try.
Food: One word: isakaya. They're supposed to be places primarily to drink and get snacks, but the snacks are cheap and great and become a meal if you order enough. The beer can run $5+, but you can pregame and drink afterwards quite cheaply with beer available at any corner store and vending machines.
Shopping: This is ridiculously expensive. The only place I ever buy clothes in Japan is at the giant Walmart-esque shopping center, because I am not willing to pay $60 for a T-shirt or $200 for a sweater.
Entertainment: Karaoke is not so expensive and fun, if that's your thing. Gygax is right about the other prices.

I don't speak japanese very well... probably like a kid's level (O-TO-SAN!!!) but I've been praised on my efforts. My friend from tokyo told me once after i apologized because i wasn't speaking japanese very well that day, he told me "don't worry about it... it's a good thing you don't speak it too well, because i really don't either".
the best way is to build a vocabulary, work on grammar/verb tenses/sentence structure, and get a conversation partner. one of my friends is in an intermediate japanese class (that his work pays for) and i think i speak better than he does.

1) I love, love, love Juzo Itami's first three films, A Taxing Woman especially. The Funeral (his first film) is amazingly underrated.
2) I really love Seishun Dendekedekedekedeke but that's not really a Japanese movie, that movie could be made anywhere (though sadly it's not available in any subtitled form).
3) I liked a couple of Shinji Aoyama's (Lakeside Murder Case and Eureka).
4) I liked Women In The Dunes, Maison De Himiko, Tokyo Garbage Girl, Tony Takitani and a few more... mostly offbeat dramas.
5) I'm not a fan of monster, horror, samurai, yakuza and anime which is like 90% of the j-film market.
Oh and I think Koji Yakusho is a pretty good actor.

I don't know where they get their data then, or what's weighted how for their COL. I honestly don't think that list is accurate at all, based on my admittedly limited experiences. I also have friends in Asia and elsewhere who I think would disagree with that ranking, but like I said, whatever. I don't know anybody who "lives" in a hotel room
I thought this was funny. But then I don't live in Tokyo. It's not so expensive... if you're homeless. I wanted to say that it's cheap if you don't leave your flat, but then the rent is so high! My parents were lucky though, great flat and a good deal (2500 dollars or something? probably more)... if you live in Tokyo.

this guy sure seems to like japan:
Offshore accounting
When I'm traveling I often read The Economist. It's less depressing, more oriented to the present and the future than some sad old Retro Necro rock mag (oh God, is that what Neil Young looks like now?). And since the style press (in the shape of Monocle) is trying so desperately to ape The Economist just now, why not go straight for the real thing, with all those lovely pie charts and graphs (and terrible illustrations)?
The current issue has a 14-page report on business in Japan. According to the various articles in this, Japan's business world is an anomaly combining the stability of the old with the dynamism of the new, Western with domestic models, and capitalism with social values. There's some evidence that Japan's current concern -- reflected in statements by the new prime minister -- is to slow down the rate of Koizumi-style reforms which have only served to increase social inequalities in Japan. The overall picture that emerges is of a return to something we could call "Swedish" in its commitment to social care: with the proviso that Japan is perhaps more "Swedish" than Sweden in this respect.
An article entitled "JapAnglo-Saxon Capitalism" describes how Japanese capitalism is a weird and anomalyous hybrid of capitalist styles: "A lot of Asian countries are saying: 'We hope Japan will succeed, so we have a new model that combines capitalism with social values,'" says Hirotaka Takeuchi of Hitotsubashi University. Does that mean something like the European model? Yes, but not identical, because taxes are lower and the state is smaller in Japan -- and unlike in France, Germany or Scandinavia, companies provide a lot of social support. Another difference with many parts of Europe is that in Japan business is regarded as a respectable pursuit that provides social goods rather than a necessary evil."
That bit caught my eye, because the post-Japan ("Japanized") me is particularly frustrated by the way we in the West continue to designate certain things as "evil", and therefore make them so. We do this because we like to think we're outside certain things, getting our hands dirty touching them only when we have to. We do this with our necessities and our pleasures. Business is "a necessary evil" and pleasure is "guilty pleasure". As a result of this thinking (we call it "critical thinking", marked by "critical distance") we mark almost everything we do with distaste, cynicism and disgust.
Distaste for business in the West might come from a Marxist-Socialist tradition (mine certainly does) or a Calvinist tradition or academia. In all three cases, these traditions depend on "creative accountancy" -- we could call it "offshore accounting" -- to make their cases. They each employ a notional, imaginary space -- a sort of margin outside of current reality -- to justify their distaste for currently-existing material reality. In the case of Marxism, everything in the present is seen from the imaginary space that will exist "after the revolution". In Christianity, of course, it's heaven and hell, the "offshore" places we reach after death. In academia it's the idea of critical distance -- the idea that there's a neutral space you can step into, a sort of cupboard from which you can spy on the world without being a part of it, without being tarnished by its values. And what underpins all three of these ideas is the Platonic message that ultimate reality is both higher than what we see and yet remote from what we see -- true reality is distant, invisible, not-yet-here, "offshore". What's here and visible is low and dirty and contingent.
Although there's some of this asceticism built into Buddhism, my sense is that Japan has never really bought into these forms of detachment, these methods of "offshore accounting", this idea of a neutral margin, or heaven, or revolution which justifies your disgust for what's in front of you. As a result, guilty pleasures or a sense that business is a necessary evil are refreshingly absent from Japanese life. The basic attitude towards business in Japan seems to be summed up by maneki neko, the lucky cat who beckons you to come and buy.
I come from a rather un-businesslike family; we're all teachers, academics, librarians, creative performers. Hisae's family is much more canny; her mum's life is a perpetual business trip, shuttling between China, Korea and Japan buying and selling clothes, running stores in Osaka. Now, I won't say that one of these lives is more ethical than the other. What the Economist article suggests, though, is that in the West ethics comes from outside (from an "offshore" class of teachers, politicians, ministers) whereas in Japan it's much more integrated and structural: ethics comes from business itself, it's built into everyday logistics. Justice is not something you bolt on afterwards, or shout about from some place offshore or outside the daily structures. A Japanese company is a bit like a family; it looks after its own, and thinks about the world (The Economist's symbol for this is the Toyota Prius hybrid car, and Japan's world lead in solar paneling).
I was sitting in Smart Deli reading Hisae bits of the Economist article, telling her my idea that we in the West are undermined by our sense that both business and pleasure must be "evil" in some way. Then I picked up Exberliner, the Berlin English-language listings magazine. It only seemed to confirm my worst fears. Here's a bit from Exberliner's article on shoplifting, for instance:
"Another shoplifter, 32 year-old Christian, has a habit of occasionally nicking shirts and watches from big department stores. "It's fun to beat the system and get away with it," he says. "I never take anything too pricey but whenever I do steal stuff I stick a mental finger up at corporations. Once in a while this materialistic society prompts these things."
Christian (what a perfect name!) only takes material things, it seems, as a protest against people taking material things. His attraction and his disgust are the same thing. He clearly has a basic problem with his relationship to the system of production.
A few pages later there's a piece on "Shopping Addiction" in which "Germany's top specialist" Professor Dr Gerhard Raab says: "Nearly all shopping addicts suffer from low self-esteem. They try to compensate for it with this act of shopping. Said simply, they feel very good for that short period of time. Then they realise that their behaviour wasn't right and they feel low self-esteem and the cycle begins again." Needless to say, this article is full of drug metaphors: shopping is an addiction, need is a needle. Again, there seems to be a fundamental problem in the way we relate to our own need, and to the production system that exists to fill it.
Later still, Exberliner reviews "Loveless" by Japancakes. "One could imagine parts of this album being sold as background in a bank commercial," grumbles D. Strauss. "In New York City," he concludes with sinister darkness, "there's a bank on every corner now". It's clearly a bad review, because it mixes music up with everyday production system stuff like banking. Music is sacred, and mustn't get mixed up in the material world, production, money. It's the sort of guilt-by-association I'd imply myself, probably. But I love how people don't do that in Japan. People don't slight commercial art by pointing out that it's -- gasp! -- commercial. They don't damn something in the consumerist system by pointing out that it's in the consumerist system.
I won't say there aren't oddities of consumption -- anorexic-bulimic patterns -- in Japan. A project like Kyoichi Tsuzuki's photo-documentation of collectors, Happy Victims, shows oddly unbalanced consumption patterns in Japanese too. But at least these people are, as the title says, happy.
There's an interesting interview in Tablog with Nakako Hayashi, who started Here and There magazine and more or less runs it (printing just 1500 copies) singlehandedly. Actually, Hayashi does condemn mainstream magazines for their emphasis on bling:
"Most of the time," she tells Tablog, "I don’t like most magazines. So there is a contradiction, because magazines that you can get the most work from are the magazines for the ‘nouveau riche’. Often they will ask me to do an art story, but it's very strange because I receive the magazine and I don’t like what I see, this strange new rich lifestyle. I feel very bad after reading it. If you buy it, it's expensive, and also makes you feel bad because you can’t have this lifestyle in your daily life, you can’t live like a wealthy Hong Kong mother. It’s strange to spend all this money and feel so bad after reading it."
What Hayashi seems to be worried about there is another form of "offshore accounting" we forgot to list earlier: the whole bling-celebrity thing which substitutes unlikely and unjust concentrations of wealth (in certain super-rich celebrities) for heaven, or academic distance, or the revolution. "When I'm super-rich like they are, all will be right in the world..."
Hayashi has some interesting thoughts, too, on the famous Japanese "lack of critical thinking": "I like it when the editors are really curious, really want to find something out, and I think most of the Japanese are really curious editors. I don’t know if they are more critical, but they just want to show the mood."
This emphasis on curiosity and information rather than critical judgement (the desire to investigate what is rather than what should be) is also, thinks Hayashi, what prevents the Japanese embracing contemporary art: "We see some exhibitions in museums of modern art but I think Japanese people are not ready for the conceptual art scene. They can try to do it but it's not really from the bottom of their hearts. Maybe the Japanese don’t need this conceptual way of thinking or critical point of view so much."
Why? asks Tokyo Art Beat Blog. Is it a kind of discovery without judgment?
"I don’t know," says Hayashi, "I think Japanese people are not so much trying to think in a critical way, they just feel out what’s new, what’s nice, interesting."
But is that a good thing?
"Well I don’t think it’s a bad thing."
I'd like to finish Hayashi's thought. When critical thinking becomes a way to condemn the system of production we depend on, to cast both business and pleasure as "evil", it can indeed be a bad thing: a sort of judgement without discovery. A production system branded as evil begins to operate in evil ways. If you say and I say and everyone says (on the left and on the right) that business is all about the benefit of shareholders and has no social responsibilities, that's the kind of world you, I and everyone else will end up living in. Justify it all you like with offshore or posthumous ideal worlds, but your denigration of reality will lead to a degradation of reality. Maybe "discovery without judgement" isn't such a bad way to relate to the world. Take it from a pirate; stay onshore.

just flew back from Japan today, had an awesome time out in the countryside (Kodananomori? skiing area in summer where the Taicoclub festival was). One high point: I was served a mountain of sushi in a wooden bucket that had as the piece de resistance a still half-alive fish whose side had been cut open and reorganized into delicious sushi that was stuck back where it had originally been part of the living fish. The fish's mouth was moving and its eyes were goggling around and everyone at the table (20 people, some japanese, most musicians from Europe playing at the fest) were all like 0_o aw fuck so awkward and grotesque and scary and the fish was clearly suffering. Then it died and was taken away by our hosts.
