Yeah, I heard that it was getting competitive, and the economy isn't much better than America right now (which makes it odd Americans want to teach there). But, with the economic situation, population, and competition, I was just concerned about whether there was a need for English teachers anymore. Thanks for answering my question.

There are 10s of thousands of non-Japanese living in Japan, maybe more. If you like urban life, I think all three of those cities are pretty livable. Rarely have I thought "Gosh, it's so crowded" in any of those places except for aboard certain trains when I made the mistake of riding during the peak hours from the most busy station.
And I understand what you meant by "fleeing". Though the economic crisis isn't limited to the US.
English teaching has always been competitive. The economy doesn't really matter if you can get a job. People don't worry about world or country economies, they worry about personal economies. There is always a need for English teachers, but those positions aren't the "secret" they were a couple decades ago.
