I got my quote today from Unreal cycles.

Frame - Planet X Compo
Forks - Fox Vanilla 125 R
Cranks Shimano - Deore splined
B.B. Shimano - Deore splined
Chainrings Shimano - Deore Tripple
Front Der Shimano - Deore
Handlebars Planet X - DH Bar
Stem On-One - Meteor
Seatpost Planet X - Probe
Saddle Planet X - Xuranus
Headset FSA - Pig
Derailer Shimano - Deore
Cassette Shimano - Deore
Chain Shimano - Deore
Shifter Shimano - Deore
Hubs Shimano - Deore Disk 36h
Rims - Vuelta DH rims
Tires Tioga - Team DH 2.3
Pedals Welgo - 313 Platforms
Brakes - Shimana Deore Disks
(I was quoted for Shimano V's but I will upgrade to Disks)

$1520. plus about $150 for shipping to Japan.
I might choose a couple of minor extras, maybe a better crank & pedals, but that quote isnt gonna change much.

Is this a good deal?
Are there any shops which offer similar bikes?
Will I get a similar bike cheaper if I buy a complete bike (and maybe get a few xtras for it) ?

Is this a nice bike?
