No that is not correct.

BA have up until recently always recruited Japanese Speakers from Japan, based in Tokyo, on a seperate Japanese contract and working to the Worldwide Crew agreements.

Since starting up a new fleet called Mixed Fleet they are not using the Japanese crew based in Tokyo on the Haneda flight, which is operated by the new Mixed Fleet crew, as they work to a different agreement.

Apparently for some Japanese legal reason, they cannot recruit new Japanese crew, on this different agreement, to operate the Haneda route with the Mixed Fleet crew. They are therefore recruiting some Japanese speaking crew based in the UK. This is why for these Japanese speaking cabin crew jobs you are required to have the right to live and work in the EU. You can be from any country as long as you speak Japanese and English and have the right to live and work in the EU and you will be living in the UK and working out of LHR on the Haneda route.
