Japanese communication skill is not absolutely vital to score yourself a Japanese girl. I am acquainted with more than a few lotharios in Tokyo who can scarcely decipher the menu at a Japanese restaurant, but take home women with astonishing frequency. Anyone would be startled at precisely how far a couple of phrases in addition to a ton of gestures and grabby-handing can go.
However, if you think you can get away with speaking only English, think again. The fact of the matter is that most of the beautiful girls you see out in Tokyo can't English their way out of a paper bag. If conversing with you is too difficult, they typically won't be sticking around long enough for you to work your magic.
Being able to speak Japanese, even just conversationally, will grant you access to a much, much bigger pool of potential mates. In addition, there is a large subset of Japanese girls who desperately want to speak English but don't want to study. You represent a possible shortcut to English mastery, if you can speak their language. Some of you may not fancy the idea of a girl "using" you for English lesson. I advice you to just roll with it because that kind of exchange happens all the time.
If you're interested in keeping girls who don't speak much English around for longer than a few nights, you'll need to be able to converse with them in Japanese. Speaking a foreign language is mentally tiring, and Japanese girls typically don't have the greatest cognitive endurance. Even if you're just looking for something temporary, speaking Japanese will let girls at least entertain the idea that you could have long term potential.
If you're still not sold on learning the language, another factor to consider is that you will be competing with other lazy foreigners for girls who already speak good English. Your lack of language ability will preclude you from social scenes where Japanese is a must, thus confining you to the foreigner scene. Girls who frequent the foreigner scene do so because they prefer to behave more like Westerners, which takes the fun out of international dating in my opinion.
A caveat for the language geeks: Japanese girls will not go home with you simply because you're bilingual. You could have a doctorate in Japanese language studies, but if you look more like a chump than a champ, you'll be going home alone.
In a nutshell, Japanese isn't absolutely necessary for dating girls in Japan, but having the capacity to do so will make it a lot easier. If you anticipate being in Tokyo for more than a short vacation, you should start studying.
Always remember, "Let's help each other study" is a classic pretense for a date.
