That tends to be the opinion from non Japanese.
Most Japanese I knew and know would love to be fluent in English, even if it was just for international vacations  |
Culturally it makes as much sense to make Spanish or French to be Japan's second "official language". Everyone in Japan speaks Japanese. Some speak another language. The majority of foreigners in Japan are Korean or Chinese, so it would make much more sense for Chinese or Korean to be Japan's "second language" over English. And that would make no sense at all.
