"Prom" is uniquely American... Japanese have graduation at just about every level of schooling but celebrations are pretty formal.

They don't really have a Prom culture, however formal celebrations (similar to a graduation) is common. They do, however, have A lot of festivals in a year when the girls dress up in kimonos, probably as close as you'll get to a "prom".

I have been a teacher in JHS and HS in Japan for 3 years, and they don't have proms or school dances. Where I live there is a school festival in October that the students prepare for for months and lasts two days. There is usually a singing competition between the classes, power point picture presentations, jump rope competitions, and skits. The students always talk about it at the end of the year (in March) as one of the highlights of the year. Japanese schools emphasize unity and equality within the student body and there are many events where the whole school comes together to compete in relay races or other activities. There however is no concept of organized romantic exercises like in America.

No . It's pretty strict over here and they take sex separation seriously
