I think its about a man who leaves to go touring with his band and how he cheats on his woman back home by having sex with women while on tour. Towards the end of the song he feels the guilt for what he is doing and how he is barely home. I also think the title of the song, "Welcome To Japan," is a sort of justification of his actions. Sort of asking, "what do you expect?" Also maybe he isn't necessarily in Japan, maybe he is just using Japan to describe how far apart he feels from his woman back home.
