I wouldn't really call the alien registration card foreign hazing. I had to do it when I studided abroad (just got back april 19th) and it was painless. But then again I also had an internship at city hall and I filled out my form in a large group at the college i was studying abroad at so it was a pretty painless process.
Of course you're in Tokyo though where things are a bit more crowded. I was in Hikone, near Kyoto.
Do speak any Japanese out of curiosity? People speak such horrible english pretty much all over Japan that if you don't know a usable level of Japanese its very hard to do much of anything :P
I'll post my own tokyo story sometime when I have the time to write it all down. It includes strippers and extecy, stay tuned.
