Romantic musical fantasy film, a place where dreams come true... This one was pure Google, either of the phrases would produce references to Xanadu.
Table tennis enthusiast and puzzle guru's surname… Also very Googleable. If you're a crossword or NPR fan, you may also know Will Shortz is the NYT crossword editor and NPR Puzzlemaster.
Two cubed walks into a bar… This gave some people difficulty, perhaps they were over thinking it. Some may have thought it was a typo (cubed vs. cubes), but "two cubed = 8" was the intended answer. Even if you googled "two cubed bar," you would see "800000 pascals," the first number of which would still be an appropriate answer.
A three legged man walks into an Irish pub… no, wait… an English pub… This was the hardest clue, and by far my favorite. The intended answer was "Isle of Man," which is an island in the Irish Sea, between Great Britain and Ireland. The flag of the Isle of Man is three legs on a red background.
Cosmic King first went on a drunken rampage in this country… This was the clue related to the prize. The King of all Cosmos is a character in Katamari, who gets drunk and accidentally destroys the cosmos. Katamari was first released in Japan.
PS: There is only one capital in this Row of letters, and it is the rightmost of those at Home.
This clue references the home row keys on a QWERTY keyboard, which are ASDF JKL;. Of these, J is the rightmost letter that is used in the giveaway URL. Additionally, if the home row clue eluded you, J is also the rightmost (aka last) letter in the URL giveaway itself.

Ah
For 2 I had "Gibb", so I thought 2 cubed meant "The Bee Gees" and the answer was their 1968 song "I Started a Joke" because of the question being worded like the start of a joke.
4, well I got "Isle of Man" straight away, but I thought the rest of the clue was important, so I thought maybe "east", then tried other pub related things.

Hello. I've really enjoyed the puzzles I've found here, so I thought I'd make one of my own. Hopefully it's not too easy or boring. As I assume is the norm, the first number or letter in your answer represents that letter in the giveaway URL. Thanks and enjoy :)

Romantic musical fantasy film, a place where dreams come true.

Two cubed walks into a bar...
A three legged man walks into an Irish pub... no, wait... an English pub...
The story of a cosmic king's drunken rampage was first told in this country.
PS: There is only one capital in this Row of letters, and it rightmost of those at Home.
Hint: Clue #3 has nothing to do with spiders, but they would think it's funny.
Hint: Clue #4 is not an innuendo -_-
Hint: Clue #2 across is a proper name.
Hint: The three legged man may have to swim to his pub of choice
Edit: Please comment if you make it to the giveaway page, so I know what to improve for future puzzles. Thanks!
Edit: I have adjusted the clue for #5 in an attempt to reduce confusion.
