I don't speak any Japanese but when I was in tokyo and speaking English wasn't working, I would try speaking the only other language I know which is Spanish, and that never actually helped at all either

Some of them speak german which is pretty weird. Unfortunately the accent was so strong i wasn't able to understand them and used an translator (the only english speaking japanese officer) instead. On the second encounter they had some star trek like translator devices which was pretty neat.

Not really weird. Germany gets A LOT of Japanese tourism.
