A can of juice cost 130 yen. I forgotten how expensive things are in Japan.
You can't even buy a piece of paper for 100 yen, god damn.
Nah, I get paper from the 100-yen shops all the time. Cheap. Food's actually pretty cheap in Japan. On the other hand, a lot of other things are expensive. Does depend where your comparing it to, though.
Most cans from a vending machine are 100-150 yen. And Muppo got a soda, anyway. Juice is just a generic term for anything that isn't coffee/tea, especially when its a vending machine.

Is that cheap for ingredients or ready to eat food ?

Restaurants are on the whole pretty cheap. (Compared to Western countries, anyway. You can't really beat out Asia for that). Ingredients, well. Fruit is very expensive. But chicken and pork are quite cheap, and some vegetables are too. If you're willing to cook, it's not too hard to be quite frugal. Of course, that depends on where you are. In Tokyo, unless you want to schlepp out to CostCo or something, it's probably just cheaper (and easier) to eat out or have pre-pepared meals or something.
Japan's really big on locally made food (at least at the prefectural level, and maybe the island if your not on Honshu), so if it's made near where you are, it's usually pretty reasonable.

Paracite, does that mean you're currently living in Japan now? If so, which area is it? Urban or rural? I heard things are much cheaper in the rural areas.

I'm down in Kumamoto - you can't really call a city of that size 'rural'.
