Can you get lettering which looks like Japanese characters? It should not be too intricate because the logo should look good in large sizes and also in very small sizes (think logos pasted on usb modems, pens, stickers etc)...
It's possible, although Hayai 早い or ハヤイ (or the root word Hayaku 早く) looks nothing like that in Japanese itself
Otherwise, do you mean using fonts like
Foreign look > Chinese, Jpn fonts | dafont.com I think the "Japanese-ness" is not really relevent, just the speed and simplicity, right?
In other news, our office space is coming along nicely, and I expect to have me and ~10 others (including our first batch of CSRs) in our new (temporary) premises between Dadar and Prabhadevi in the last week of December.
I plan to move to a new (bigger) building in near Elphinstone Road/Parel station in October 2010 (when the building opens... it would be customized to our needs starting around April) - so... I am anticipating that my expansion goes as planned. Maybe in 5 years, we'll have an entire building (or building complex) to ourselves

I liked this logo:

I saw one logo which even had a hour-glass
windows wait cursor! A service which proclaims itself to be fastest broadband service cannot have a wait cursor as a part of its logo.
That's what *I* said. It took me 30 minutes of arguing to explain why having an hourglass is not a good idea (and it was this logo that made me think that the designer doesn't get what we're about).
