I was just going to point this out myself. 18 is not an adult in Japan. 18 is something like 15 or 16 in the US in terms of how people are treated. If you`re unlucky, you might not even be able to get a room without a guardian. A family friend couldn`t get a long-stay room (3 weeks) at 19 without me co-signing for them.
Nightlife might let you slide because you`re not Japanese, but chances are it will be 20+ so those below 20 will have to do something else.
As for room recommendations - for a long term stay in one area I always recommend LeoPalace21. It is basically like renting a small apartment, and they will rent you extra beds so you can usually have 4 people per room... At 50,000/month for a room, it comes out to a very low price per person.
But limiting yourself to Tokyo seems like such a waste. If you want to see non-touristy things off the beaten track (and spend a lot less money...) try another city.
