Dozo as in "Hai, dozo" (yes please) or "dozo yoroshiku" (nice/pleased? to meet you) and Kudasai as in "Kyotsukete kudasai" (take care please), "sushi kudasai" (sushi, please) are both examples of please (i think...teru? tasukete? help?)
you can also use "onegai shimasu" (O-neh-gai shi-mas) which is another way of saying please...i don't quite know how it differs from the first two. Tasukete!!!

I have this cute Japanese phrasebook that has the weirdest things in it...like 'Keep your hands to yourself' "Te o shimai nasai" and 'I'll tear you in half' "Mapputatsuni hiki sakuwayo"

Filipino: Salamat - sah-lah-mat(thank you), Mabuhay! (ma- boo-hai(live long, also used in the same context as the hawaiian aloha)

I can also sing a few Japanese songs ^_^
