Easier and faster to learn for who? How could you say English would be easier for young Japanese to learn than Japanese would be? What history do you have to back it up? I have never heard a Japanese person say "English is so easy to learn". It requires a completely different way of thinking than Japanese, which is why Japanese is hard for English speakers to learn. It goes both ways.

I guarantee you a lot more of Japanese young people participate in tea ceremony and flower arranging clubs than dress up in cosplay.

Go to any summer festival and tell me people prefer western style over traditional styles. Of day to day this is true, but kimonos are brutally expensive and not very convenient.
