That is only true if and only if you can't speak Japanese, otherwise what you are saying completely does not make sense. (Why have universities at all in that case). PR? Recruitment Consultant in Japan that doesn't speak Japanese?
You are worthless if you can't communicate regardless of skill. English teaching is so popular because you only need English to do the job.
That's why people here advocate education + language skill unless all you want is a stint in Japan and don't care what you do, in which case, like you said, you don't need anything. Just pack and go and find either English teaching jobs or manual labour.
