This applies to things you don't want to lug across the ocean, souvenirs for yourself, and souvenirs for others.
For things I don't want to lug across the ocean, there isn't really a lot right now besides things that just sound fun to get in Japan such as hand towels, reuseable grocery bags, and notebooks. Basically just things I would want to get anyway. If I were actually moving to Japan for a decent amount of time there are a lot of things that I would get there but since I'm only going for two months it makes sense for everything I'm bringing and getting to be able to fit in my suitcase/bags.
As for gifts for others, I have been asking family and friends if they have any specific requests for things they want me to bring back. I have gotten a couple requests so far, such as something from a gashapon machine, something Japanesey, an umbrella, and some clothes.
All of these things will be written down on a piece of paper or in a file on my computer because I am sure to forget them in the packing process or when I get to Japan. Make plans and lists whenever traveling, especially lists. You would be amazed how much falls out of your head during the packing and traveling process.
