There's no guaranteed way to remember Japanese words quickly because there are many types of words and certain rules for each type, and also many exceptions. You just have to read and listen a lot and you'll gradually be able to memorize the words. That's all.

No secret, just repetition, repetition, repetition. I would suggest learning the words in some sort of context (way they are used in a sentence) if you can. Once you start using them in conversation I think they will start to stick quite easily. You can cram and overload yourself with words.. which is OK in my opinion, but you cannot expect to remember them all. Particularly the ones you hardly use, if ever. Lastly I would suggest you create online or electronic flashcards that you can review quickly at anytime. Just keep at it everyday and keep speaking, reading etc.

There is no universal formula to easy memorization, it is just something you have to figure out on your own. Good luck.

If you are talking about the hiragana and katagana, I would like to share my experience with you. I never cram them; instead I memorized them by staring at the JPOP lyrics while listening to them. As you gradually remember the "sound"(pronounciation), you will be able to link the kana(Japanese words) with the sounds that you listen.

Personally I think this is a good method. Today I still remember all the kana; where on the other hand I forgot the structures of all 20 amino acids that I've learned from organic chemistry. Of course, you have to keep using the kana just like ABCs... As my psysiology professor said "If you don't use it you will lose it"

Actually that's how I learnt a bunch of Kanji while studying Japanese. I think songs are not always the best way to learn proper grammar, but a good source to learn new words.
