Some famous Japanese companies such as Rakuten and Uniqlo use English the official language within the company. These companies think that using English helps keep them in touch with global trends in business and technology, as well as help their competitiveness outside of Japan.
So what if Japan made English an official (second) language? Do you think that would enable Japan to become more competitive and connected to the world?
Or do you think it would be harmful to Japanese culture to have such a strong focus on English?

Nowadays English is the common language in the world.
It is very advantageous that members of a company can
speak English. But, English is a tool. English is not
a purpose. What do you speak by English? Big companies
want to employ young people who can speak English very
well. It is good, but it is strange that all members
of a Japanese company should speak English.
Business is difficult. Negotiation, contact, research
and other many things are necessary for success.
What can you talk about business by English? It is
the most important. It is the presentation of your
efforts and your sincerity.
I had learned English for six years (junior high and
high school), but it was the study for the entrance
examination of colleges. I didn't have the lesson
of English conversation at all. I don't speak English
in my daily life.
English is the scholarship in Japan. It is really
strange. Languages have each culture. Japanese has
long Japanese culture, and so English is not harmful
for Japanese culture. British English is different
from American English. It is the difference of
each culture.

The managers of Rakuten want to gather as many excellent persons
from various peoples in the world as they can.
The number of persons who is excellent and can speak Japanese
is very small. But the number of persons who is excellent and can
speak English is more than the former is.
So they have decided to make English the official language in the company.
