Although English is a required language course in Japan, there are still a significant population of locals who do not speak a word of English. Your approach anxiety will nearly double because of this. With the language barrier present, conversational technique is all but useless. It's a totally different game out here. You have to be able to build attraction relying solely on body language. Knowing how to speak the language well is not necessary in the short-run. You are most likely not going to be carrying out any long and interesting conversations with a majority of the girls here. So you should definitely try and learn a few phrases that will help get you out onto the dance floor as soon as possible. "Hey. How are you? I'm Will. Nice to meet you. Let's go dance."
Know that you will fail much more than you will succeed. Learn to accept that. Continue to maintain a strong, confident, charming vibe throughout the night. Make sure to always award the girl by smiling for interacting with you. She will most likely be very self conscious about speaking to foreigners in front of her friends. While 50% are curious, the other 50% are deathly afraid of us. That is also why initially opening with English is not a good idea. All foreigners do that. If you're looking for a girl who can speak English, just wait until a really good song comes on and pay close attention to which girls begin to lip-sing. Hopefully their English will be good enough for you to work your magic.
