I'd have thought most students coming to the US would have at least their first night planned, even if it is a hostel (they don't require a booking confirmation, just the address)
You should know the address of your school. I think they ask for your final destination within the country (for USA) please correct me if I am wrong.
In Japan you could always just write Holiday Inn or something while on the plane. I would think that if the info is there they wouldn't double check/ask about it.
