However, if you think you can get away with speaking only English, think again. The fact of the matter is that most of the beautiful girls you see out in Tokyo can't English their way out of a paper bag. If conversing with you is too difficult, they typically won't be sticking around long enough for you to work your magic.
Speaking Japanese and English proficiently will open you to the large number of Japanese girls that want to speak English, but cannot. You are the manifestation of their multilingual fantasies, which is another reason for them to meet you for drinks as opposed to flaking on you in traditional J-girl style. The romantics amongst you may balk at the thought of girls dating you for free English lessons, but hey, this kind of exchange happens all the time. You might as well use it to your advantage. I am positive plenty of you reading this today have acquaintances who you wouldn't associate with if it wasn't for their one particular skill-set that you value enough to endure their of their foolishness.
Additionally, even with what you might have learnt, most Japanese girls who can use English still want to converse using Japanese and a hopeless or merely troublesome language barrier is a ground for dismissal. Japanese girls usually at least contemplate the thought of a long term relationship, and that thought ends up being more daydream than reality if you aren't able to string enough words together to have a conversation.
If you're still not sold on learning the language, another factor to consider is that you will be competing with other lazy foreigners for girls who already speak good English. Your lack of language ability will preclude you from social scenes where Japanese is a must, thus confining you to the foreigner scene. Girls who frequent the foreigner scene do so because they prefer to behave more like Westerners, which takes the fun out of international dating in my opinion.
But also remember that Japanese girls are humans first and foremost. Even with all the advantages that language proficiency brings, Japanese girls will not come home with you because you know a thousand Japanese proverbs. Even if you're a Japanese language champ, if you're a chump every where else, you're not going to get very far.
In closing, you don't need to understand Japanese in order to get girls in Japan, but being able to will make the progression much simpler. If you intend on being in Japan for longer than several weeks, you should consider hitting your local language center.
Always remember, "Let's help each other study" is a classic pretense for a date.
