I have. I've been through immigration at Narita 4 times this year alone. I have had 2 friends detained by immigration, the last time was just a few months ago, and she was held for nearly 2 hours. My friends and I missed our train waiting for her, so we had to take the bus instead. Another person I know objected to the treatment and was denied a tourist visa. The only thing these three people had in common was a taste for "strange" clothing, though the last one had a nose ring as well.
