They have a particular type of writing called Katakana that spells out English words. kanji represents blocks of meaning and hiragana expresses the grammatical relationship between them. Katakana is used for foreign names, the names of foreign places and words of foreign origin.

'Japan only' really doesnt mean Japan only but other Asian countries would also be getting the same lines hence English would be a good thing particularly with the major brand.
