Last trip was in '07 and there was enough English by that time I could get from Narita airport to the house in Tokyo without any assistance.

Wow, that's hard for me to imagine. I think the last time that I was in Japan was Jan 1985. The first time was Jan 1978, IIRC. I'd love to go back, but I'm sure I'd hardly recognize the place.
