To me, if the job wouldn't require Japanese (which is hilarious considering this is a position with Capcom Japan [in Japan], almost guaranteed to require near-fluent Japanese), then the correct path when sending a cover letter for a job would be to have it professionally translated if it were necessary to have it in Japanese.
