Great, thanks.

In that case, I'll clearly state that my preference will be "Urban."

The way I see it, if I'm placed in a big, metropolitan city, I'll have more to do around town, meet more foreigners and so on.

On the other hand, if I'm placed in a smaller city, town or (GASP) village, I'll be considerably more immersed and will not be able to "escape" my surroundings, which will make learning Japanese considerably simpler (through total immersion).

By the way, after a person's JET term is up, do they still have a large number of English teaching opportunities in the country if they want to stay? Is there a lot of competition for these positions or is it possible to make a good living/get a good salary after the JET experience?
