I love your dual language posts. My Japanese is not good enough to write more then a few standard sentences and there is the reading problem of Kanji... so I learn from it (when I have the time)

I think the problem is really that Japanese it not like English that "everybody" understands more or less. And you need more effort to look words up/its harder to be sure its right if you use e.g. google translate.

So you only have the Japanese crowd - and if that small, not many join... etc.
