I've heard not to make it to expensive because they feel they will need to give something more back. So I was really looking for something meaningful. I appresiate all your help.

T-shirts are always nice, but unless you know exactly what American bands that the people you are meeting in Japan are into, you may have difficlty in choosing the T-shirts. How about ones with your state name on them? I'm pretty sure those would be much safer in general.
You've heard it right. Never over-do it when it comes to givng gifts. For that family you're staying with, forget about things that take space to keep in their house such as dolls. I'd go for nicer-looking ball-pens/mechanical pensils. As long as you're selecting the Parker brand, they will be able to find the ink refills in Japan. One for each family member would be much appreciated. They are suitcase-friendly as well and they last many years.
