So they operate without issue, or the Japanese dont understand? Which point are you trying to make here?
Just like the US controllers learn Japanese for the JAL and ANA flights? No, I am sure you also say that if they want to fly to the US they can learn to speak English so that the controllers there can inderstand.
You could also say, if you want to fly international you learn to speak standard english, or even standard radio terminology, regardless of what your native language is, English or not.

Also, what did US General Douglas MacArthur say about aviation terminology in 1945? I didn"t get your point.
