All of her interviews in Japan are in English or she has someone with her to help because of her lack of fluency; she'll throw in a random Japanese phrase or sentence, but she does present herself in Japanese in music shows right before she sings or whatever but that's the extent.
I remember one time too, she said it in English, that she's been messing up in English because "all day, every day, I speak Japanese, bad, broken Japanese!" or something along those lines. All of her DVDs, the commentaries, are all in English with Japanese subtitles.

And when she's alone it's pretty fail:

I'm sure she's gotten a lot better and I guess we'll see in interviews and stuff once she starts her comeback~
