4. I don't recommend going to Japan and breaking the law,

as you would most likely get your head cracked for ANY sign of non-compliance. Some here think the police have a bad rep here in the US, well, go against the grain with a JP and see what happens. Especially if you're a foreigner. Their jail "cells" are nothing to write home about, either. Not from personal experience, mind you, but had a friend spend a few weeks in one in Okinawa. Meals aren't exactly "filling", either. We have a LOT better system here, actually have rights that the Japanese don't, so don't go down the wishing well, unless you KNOW what's at the bottom...
