Its not necessary to know Japanese as everything is in the same place as previous walkmans. They also come with a preinstalled PDF manual with screen shots of every menu and option which allows for an easy online translation.
A marginal hassle perhaps but one that is IMO far outweighed by the ATRAC support that comes with the Japanese model.
