On the note of sunglasses, its "acceptable" for girls as its a fashion statement... for guys, you are likely to be mistaken for Yakuza member if you walk around with them. I suppose it should be OK if you are in a more quiet tourist area, but definitely avoid wearing them around Namba Osaka and Shinjuku...
I don't do anywhere outside in Japan without sunglasses, but am always sure to take them off when I am talking to someone. At this point, most of my Japanese friends wear sunglasses, too, but we are all well out of college. I think it takes more than sunglasses to be mistaken for a gangster.
