When Commodore Perry came to Japan with 4 Black Ships in 1853 [blackshipsandsamurai.com], the population of speakers of Japanese language was larger than that of English speakers. 250 years later, the number of English speakers was by far more exceeding than that of Japanese speakers, probably more than ten times. That shows apparent generality of English.
The number of people this land can nourish was so limited and won't exceed than current 130 million, thinking of the future of this country, English has to be the first public language, this is the way our country survive in coming century.--
