He can learn Japanese via friends.

I couldn't disagree more. Yes, it will sound like a mix of two languages when they are 3 and 4 and even 5, but by first grade they will know the difference between Japanese and English. Kids brains are built for soaking up languages, and if you can expose him to three or four languages that is better.
I have a friend with a bilingual 6-year-old son they are now sending to French American school to give him exposure to French.
