Proof that @Belthazar has at least four thumbs…
conspiracy confirmed…
Oh, I’m pretty sure all of my fingers have appeared in these photos at least once each.

28-down イオウ
which reinforces my suspicion that 29-across is オワビ
Which means 33-down is ワカ

Thinking perhaps 19-across is ミズヨウカン
I’d say it ends with ン anyway, because I’m quite certain that 35-down is something-ビン. Maybe just as simple as ユウビン?
And 23-down is チーズ
14-down ユドウフ (I had that in Kifune 
)
15-across ウルチマイ (Honestly had to look that one up - I’m not well-informed on all the rice terminology aside from 稲 > 米 > ご飯)
I‘m also pretty sure it‘s ユウビン.
And wow, learning more possible words for rice 
Ok, so this time I’ll try to restrain myself and only do a few at a time. 
13 across ウサバラシ

Ah, of course. This is one of those ones where I could basically see the expected answer, but my Japanese vocab is not strong enough to come up with an answer.
Which makes 24-down ラム, which is a crossword answer that’d literally only work in Japanese.
I’m not sure about the rest of the word, though. Think 27-down has to be トシナミ
How about ムナモト
More findings:
2-across ナンド (thus 8-down is イン)
27-across トウヨ
34-down ショートヘア, but I’m not too clear on why the clue is negative
31-across ドア? Seems too easy.
32-across … マユ?
31-down … … … ドラマ?
Are we gonna alternate taking two hours to solve a crossword with taking two months?

Yea, I thought it was asking what male hair usually isn’t but maybe I’m misinterpreting it.
A couple more long shot possibilities:
10 across カイフク?
26 down オオダマ?
Well, give me a couple more days to use the answers you just posted to figure out some others and then we can call it quits. I don’t want to get too carried away by this thing like the first time.

Ah
9-down ミカン
21-down クサリ
22-across リストラ
26-down has to be クスダマ
17-across イサク (but both of those kanji are in the clue…)
6-across ガクフ (lurking in the corner, still incomplete)
Think 16-down is サイカイ
Which means 10-across is カイカク
And done.

First move:
6-across サンタ
10-down ロクオンキ?
Thinking maybe 13-down has something do with イロハ, but I’ve really got no idea.
22-across: キノジ (so it works with 28-down)
14-down: メシ?
15-down: マワシ
28-down: タカラクジ？
30-down: ノウ
I made too many changes (changing the picture’s size), so I was locked out of editing. 
Apparently it’s that the images are too big (or something). 
Also, in general. Me, while answering the easiest ones:
Edit #42:
Apparently adding images by using Insert > Image > By url, adds the images in a reasonable size.

I was reading Haruhi, and her hair is described as ロングヘア. With that in mind, I’m now starting to think the meaning of this clue is because ショートヘア is explicitly a women’s hairstyle. Men’s hair is expected to be short, so it doesn’t have a name. And indeed, doing a Google image search for ショートヘア invariably shows images of women (or, at least, I think it’s invariably - one or two are a little hard to tell).
If your brain is the thickest part of your body, you’re doing something wrong.
It’s ドウ
Which makes 7-across ミキ
6-down サミット

I went with fattest, as in most fat, not thickest. According to some internet searches.
For 1-down, ひさかたの appears to be a poem of some description - possibly one of the 百人一首. I assume ももしきの is also, but I don’t know what to do with that.
13-down イロハウタ. Duh.

Why? Like, what do the words in the clue mean?
Think you’re over-thinking this one - グラブ works just fine, and has the added advantage of making 3-across ラブ
2-across クライマックス
(which makes 27-down アス)
29-across クルマ? Because there aren’t any trains?
32-down リサイクル
(which makes 28-across タサン)
25-across ガラクタ
35-down タマムシイロ (I don’t really get it, but it fits)
(which makes 33-across コシ)
