My current room is 70k yen per month including utils, If your spending money is going to cover your room then you are fducked.

If you are coming for a month that includes 4 weekends. So you will go clubbing four to eight times. average enterance 5000 yen, drinks are VERY VERY expensive, more then London. I have seen a pint of beer go for 1500 yen, that is about 7.50 GBP.
If you are real Otaku then you will have to become half Otaku as the cost of feeding your desire and shipping it home will soon have you choosing what to buy in a very measured way. As an Otaku you will want to keep the original box yes? hahahaha. You better pack fducking light then as one large suitcase may contain only 9 figures if you are lucky. and most Japan flights only take one case.
You might want to try what I am doing and post it home but the cost soon adds up to negate the cost of the gadget/figure so you better make sure you cant by it in the west or that you are saving at least 30% on the western price.

Back to the clubbing scene. To enjoy a frequent and cost effective nightlife you will do best to hook up with a local that has contacts ie. DJ/Producer/Manager as they can often get you in free and introduce you to people that know of private parties and such, you will also enjoy some free drinks if you are lucky, but be aware that if you have to pick up a round it may cost you allot more then you expected.

I hope you do come over and have a good time. But be warned, it is not going to be cheap if you want to do the things you are saying.
