Pretty cool for weddings: have customized figures of the spouses on the big cake. Since in Japan weddings are extremely expensive (up to several years of savings go into it!) I would not be surprised they start to include this kind of service in the near future.

That's only true to a certain extent.
My wedding cost quite a bit less, although my wife and I decided to do it in Canada and fly over people instead. Many people do a "Hawaii Wedding", fly the guests over, and it costs much less than the marriages ceremonies in Japan. (You talk about industries waiting to be disrupted..)

From what I have heard from friends in Japan, about $20k is on the slightly cheaper side for weddings.
(because of the comparatively lower pay that young professionals receive in the country, this is probably "several years of savings" as ekianjo says)
