Japan is the land of options. You can spend very little or you can spend a lot, depending on where you stay, what you do and eat. If you are staying for a week or more and traveling outside of Tokyo a lot get a JR pass, if you are just hopping from Tokyo to one other place, fly. Transportation will probably rat most of your cash as compared to the EU its pricy cuz as a tourist you need to use it a lot. JR pass makes it cheaper if you are staying for a week or two.
For the concert tickets, join TA. Us foreigners typically get very good seats and it’s the safest way to get them at a regular price, especially if you don’t wanna risk it. Japan is easy to get around as everything works.
I’ve been there with both a very small and a very big budget. The first time I went it was 9 days and I spent around 800 eur (airplane ticket excluded). If you are buying electronics it can be pretty cheap as you can get tax free on the spot which is 7-8% (I always forget) and Yodobashi has an additional 5% off for VISA card holders.
If you want a nice cheap hotel/hostel try Juyoh. Its in Minami senju, so a bit far away from Shibuya, but super close to Ueno, Akihabara and Narita airport.
Oh and do check Narita if you have the time before the flight back!
