I hate the us embassy, we walked there and there was some guard standing outside, I think he said to Mikki you can only get in with an appointment. Hopefully that won't take too long.

Something to be aware of - you will need to have a *translation* notarized if the original document is in English (which it was for us, and probably always is. We just translated it ourselves.)
I have no experience with the embassy in Tokyo. I don't recall having to do anything special for the one in Osaka... But we only went to an actual embassy to pick up the form - everything else we did at the local consulate. (Much easier to get an appointment.)

Thanks for the visa info. Can her parents sponsor me? I'd be living with them. Dad is a carpenter and mom does something with real estate, so I guess they have enough income.

Her father should be able to sponsor you with no problems... She herself may be able to sponsor you if she has a full time job...
However, if you are her dependent and she only has a PR visa, you probably will NOT be able to work. As far as I can recall, the dependent of a PR visa holder - which is what you will be visa wise - doesn't necessarily receive work permission. I would check into that.
Does she plan to switch to Japanese citizenship?
