Thanks for the reply; I figured that it was really only a safety issue (I've had some experience with wiring mains line in Canada, but there was always a ground; I've never had to wire mains in Japan where there is no ground and the mains is not polarized).
I know that in Canada/US, looking at a socket, live is on the right and neutral is on the left, but I'll do some more digging to see if it is the same in Japan (it probably is, but just to be sure...)
Hopefully the PSU won't give me too much trouble. The one I purchased was through a Japanese supplier here (sorry, website is only in Japanese):
[akon.jp]
I got the AK320W-SC-12, which is rated at 12V and 25A.
(Here's a quick Google translate, if anyone is actually interested)

I'm hoping that the PSU should be fine, since it's not your typical eBay PSU. Comments are welcome!
Edit: Does anyone have any comment about the ring terminals? Or are most people just twisting the strands of wire together and hooking it up directly to the PSU (is this recommended for mains line?)
