They have no "street signs", and street name are all painted on the ground...in Japanese, no English.

Maybe in major cities, but not in the boonies where my grandma used to live.

I was told that almost everyone learns English in school, but unless they are very good at it (or are younger women), they generally do not speak it.

Japanese is actually a bastardization of three different languages: Chinese, English, and I’m pretty sure the third one is Klingon. So they have three disparate character sets, used randomly and interchangebly to generate sentences for different scenarios. They also use Subject Object Verb sentence structures – mostly because they hate logic and kill puppies out of spite.

Japanese thing American culture is "cool".
They look up to American actors/actresses, movies, food, language, etc.
If you can speak, write, read English in Japan, you are cool.
I'm not joking.
