I just called Japanese Social Security, and they said a copy of a tax return is sufficient.

LOL!  Why would the government of Japan ask a US citizen for proof of their residence in the US?  No, and I lived in Japan for over 40 years.  The person is being asked for proof of residence in Japan, and if the persons does not have an up-todate resident card, that is evidence that the person does not reside in Japan.

The standard proof of address is a utility bill in your name or a rental agreement/mortgage.

A lease and utility bills with your name and address should do it. Utility bills are usually what they require for proof of residence, at least in the US. They might mean proof of residence in Japan, in which case you would have to send something like utility bills, lease, or your national health insurance bills to them from when you were living there.
