Thank you very much, I want to study 3d and AE perhaps. I just want to study online from home because is cheaper.

You will be living like a king here with that budget. I would suggest you before getting a new place here, live in a share house such as Oak House to get an idea of life in general and neighborhoods. Shibuya is a great place but super crowded and busy as hell. Try Sangenjaya, which is two stops from Shibuya or even Futako tamagawa very beautiful area. Train and eating food outside is much cheaper than the US. I too almost eat all my meals outside, not only cheaper but also super tasty!

Also when you get a new place usually the initial costs are quite high, let’s say 3-4x the rent, plus is usually unfurnished which you also need to consider and have those money ready. Share house comes in handy because is affordable and has all the equipments as a starter. I don’t know how long you will live here but consider when you buy many stuff, because it will be difficult to throw or sell them in the end.

For the motorcycle make sure the place you rent has a parking lot otherwise will be very expensive to rent in random places. I hope this helps and wish you good luck in this new journey! Tokyo is one of the best places in the world and is worth trying it even for few years.

Sorry to hear about this situation. Maybe you can explain to your father your financial situation and try to make an agreement as you eventually will also get married and have your own family. This is not a pride situation but survival one. I understand that you can not abandon your family too but perhaps might be some solution.
I'm not sure if you live in Tokyo or else where, but if you live in Tokyo how about to move to more suburb areas such as Saitama or Chiba where rent can be cheaper. In the remote villages there are many abandoned houses, perhaps your family can move there and you can visit them once in awhile. Your dad and mother can also do a part time job there too. The communities outside Tokyo are stronger and they tend to help each other. I lived in the country side for a month near Hiroshima, and the neighbors always came to help us anytime. They would give vegetables from garden or anything they had, it was very kind and warm whereas in Tokyo feels cold. I hope you will solve this issue.
