My American PS2 worked fine. I imagine most US/Canada stuff should be fine. If you're planning to bring 240V stuff then probably not worth it. Step up converters are heavy and a little expensive.

Despite rumours, there is plenty of deodorant available in Japan. "Axe" is probably the most popular brand for foreigners. The problem is that Japanese deodorants just don't work for some people. That's probably why you hear about people bringing over their own supplies.

To add to what Chris said--
Yes, deodorant exists in Japan, but stick deodorant is virtually unheard of, so if you don't like the aerosol variety you may prefer to bring a lot. Axe aside, the scents of said deodorants are also quite different from those you'll find in the US (I can't speak for other countries)--citrus and mint come to mind.

prescription medicines: some medicines are illegal including Vic. Once in Japan many foreigners will find the Foreign Buyers Club in Kobe City useful, including deodorants. I have used them since living in Japan. They can send to anywhere in Japan.
