I'm good looking and I have a penis. My goal wouldn't be to fuck as many chicks as possible.

how hard is it to get pot in japan?

I think they are real hard on drugs there.
But you can get Absinthe. It was delicious.

weed = 60 a gram (basing this on kids who own hip hop and regae labels, so it could be a lot more if you don't know what's up). also, 3-6 mos lockup for simple possession.
no language? not a huge issue in getting by, but it definitely makes the experience pretty sterile (i' speaking from very current experience) -- foreigners will never really be part of society, but without a bit of japanese skill, you'll never make any real friends. sure, you'll find people to party with, but they'll most likely be trying to learn english from you. luckily, i came here already knowing a bunch of people/places to go.
i stay in shinsen, which is a residential part of shibuya (basically daikanyama). right now it's too expensive for too small a place. if you really have loot, it would be a great area to live: i know a dude with a nice 3 story house in the neighborhood, but he probably pays around 12-15k US a month.
i pay 1.5k for a small bedoom with a kitchen and a bathroom in the entryway.
all in al the neighborhood is rad though. 15 mins to shibuya station and diakanyama station, 20 to ebisu & nakameguro. lots of restaurants and shops and a few good bars in a stone's throw combined with the swankiness of diakanyama and ebisu the trendiness of nakameguro and retarded continual party that is shibuya all within a quick walk/bike ride.
shimokita-zawa could be a good place to live as well, a bit more bohemian than the rest of the city.
i'm going reinforce the notion that you don;t even want to go to roppongi, unless you're looking to be harassed by big ass nigerians trying to sucker you into (sometimes phoney) strip clubs, brothels or shitty ass clubs. all they want is your loot, and intimidating you out of it isn't a problem for them. unless you're going somewhere specific, avoid at all costs: it's basically like walking around tijuana to find a shitty, suburban american nightclub, complete with american eagle wearing fratboys.
good food & shopping is everywhere, good bars are a bit tougher to find, but definitely in abundance.
good luck.
