Japan's koseki and juminhyo systems are outdated, disctiminatory, and broken. Fix 'em. Family unity my left foot. If your marriage isn't solid enough to endure the gasp horror of seperate surnames then your marriage wasn't very strong to begin with. All this hullabaloo over seperate names? Grow up.
