The common name for these guys in English is Millipede not Centipede which are a different kind of creature.
I am not 100% sure of the species ID suggested above. (I'm not an expert). However, I do think it is a Promachus sp. one of the Giant Robber Flies.
Could be this maybe????? https://bugguide.net/node/view/746958
It's one of the species of Crab Spider in the Thomisidae family. https://bugguide.net/node/view/1957
The eye arrangement, posture, and leg dimensions looks most like one of the Flower Crab Spiders (Genus Misumena) https://bugguide.net/node/view/6749
or maybe (Species Misumessus lappi) https://bugguide.net/node/view/1572316
But, I'm no expert. The tiny size and translucency make me think it is perhaps a very young spider, rather than identifiable features.
I'm not at all good with mushroom ID, however from the location and the black crusty edge when it is dry this looks like the most likely candidate. On the reference page in the suggestion click on the Desert Inkcap for info and pics.
Cool spotting. I love millipedes.
Yes, I believe you are right. Scientific name: Xenox tigrinus

It doesn't look like a Cicada to me. I think maybe some kind of Katydid or grasshopper of some kind. As suggested above I think this is a Common True Katydid. I'm not sure, but although they are normally vibrant green, some are darker, and also, I think death causes them to brown. Here is a picture of a dead mounted one that resembles yours: https://bugguide.net/node/view/92806/bgi...
Maybe Melampodium Leucanthum, Blackfoot Daisy https://www.americansouthwest.net/plants...
Hmmm, If that photo was from Florida, I would have said Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) An invasive that is spreading to many places. However, I don't know if it has found its way to Japan. So, my guess is that it is most likely the Common Southeast Asian Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax)
