Of course Japanese don't need English to get along in everyday life. Also, most of them don't have aspirations to get a spectacular job, or even leave the country. The generation of 30-40 year old's can speak some English but their usage of words and pronunciation is a bit off.
Kids now, have the advantage of dealing with a foreign language teacher, whose 'native language' can be questionable at best. Nonetheless, the adults are a little bit envious. There are great English teachers out there. However, recently, I have noticed some oppression of foreign language learning by higher ups in the academic school system which is unfortunate for both students and teachers. Not to mention, just horrible teachers.
