Japanese law requires that a foreigner prove they have a skill that Japanese do not have in order to get a job there (in order to protect Japanese jobs from foreigners). Since "native skill with English" (or another language) is the easiest such thing to prove, it is by far the most common. Since Japanese people can be (and are) surgeons, interior designers, etc, those jobs are generally not available to foreigners unless you can prove your expertise at some area of that job that Japanese can't match (some new surgical technique discovered in another country, for instance).
