The Japanese language isn't considered as international as the English language. Few countries outside of Japan teach Japanese in school. This is not the case with English.
French is taught in schools all around the world. And in practically every high school in America. Do Americans know how to speak French? Even conversationally? I sure don't, and I 've taken French classes before. It's totally unrealistic to think that Japanese people *should* know how to speak/write English just because English is an international language. French is just as international, and so is Chinese and Spanish. I do think it's asking a bit too much for JP players to learn english enough to communicate with us because obviously, there are plenty of NA players who don't extend that kind of effort and courtesy to the JP players.
