^^but again, as said before, her handler did everything, and she even said on TV that she stayed in her room.
I was also under the impression that most Japanese people could speak English, of course not fluently, but definitely little phrases here and there. But then again, I would think that as English is becoming more and more popular around the world, many people can speak English, or at least know how to say most of the basic phrases.
But I think that her English is definitely limited to Hello, Goodbye, Thank you, Your welcome. At the MTV Asia Awards in 2002, as said above, she did say, "Thank you so much, I love you all." But also while they gave her the award she just kept saying "thank you" which I think is one of the things she can definitely say without getting looks of confusion, or being confused herself.
I think that with English, its easier to understanf than speak? like, if you asked for directions in Japan, someone would probably be able to help you, and with the overwhelming number of foreigners in places like Shibuya and the Roppongi District, you would think that the people who lived there would assume that you did not speak Japanese, or would try to talk to you in Enlgish.
