4 days huh. And at least 1 of those day goes to concerts.
Fuji-q is fun if you got a day to spare. Simple but effective flash on their site, too, if you keep looking at the videos:
http://www.fujiq.jp/Once you get back in the evening (it's out by mt. Fuji) hit up an Izakaya or something else you might not have around where you live. "tabelog.com" lists a lot of places if you speak Japanese. If not there are still some fairly good ones in English, like this one:
http://www.bento.com/It lists bars too, for after eating. Super Deluxe is design oriented ( http://www.super-deluxe.com/ ), done by Klein/Dytham (they're swell) but goth dammet you are on vacation. Go for something grittier. Or something more fun. That Bento site might have some.
Lately I've grown to like Maduro in the Hills. Had a photoshoot there years ago but I never went back to check it out until recently...they don't mind cigars and have comfy couches.

Not too far from Tokyo midtown, either.

In the following or previous day...do what epill said. Except for the shrines. They're boring. Well...if you have to maybe stop by Asakusa, it's not too far away from Akihabara (where I am sure you will want to go, if just for the used panties).
Harajuku wasn't on his list...no idea why Ebisu is there. Those 2 toy stores? ;)
Kichijoji is kitch, so is Shimo-Kitazawa. Both accessible on keio line going from Shibuya.The remaining time....
If you're into art and design (just a hunch) there's that site which list current events...
