The thing is, compared to other countries, Japanese people have very low English ability - and that's textbook English, not even slang Internet meme language used online. Japan does have a huge Internet community, but with super popular Japanese websites, I'd wager it is very unusual for a Japanese person to try to navigate, say, fandom!secrets. The language barrier is really thick, and they produce enough "fandom" things in their own language.

You might get Westerners of Japanese descent, of course. But "real" Japanese people? If, in fandom, someone claimed they were Japanese (from Japan), I'd assume it was a troll.

You might want to site your sources.

"...there's TOEFL score data from 2004-2005, which placed Japan second to last in Asia in terms of English language skills with 191 points—only one point higher than North Korea."

Japan has notoriously bad English communication, despite mandatory English classes.
