Thanks.
You should be fine. I think actually stateside once you're 16 the airlines don't require you to travel as a UM (ergo you can travel as a regular passenger). I'd look into any immigration concerns in Japan with the US Dept of State and whatever their immigration people are regarding if you need any written document from your parents permitting you to enter the country without them.
