I think it is safe to assume if you are communicating with someone from Japan, it isn't out of the blue and either you know Japanese or they know English (or whatever other language). So I think in the case you describe, this would be acceptable.
The origin of this thread is that someone wanted to write a letter to a Japanese boy who was going to Toronto. I think if that boy is going to an English-speaking city, then he should have at least known some English.

The letter about the boy leaving Toronto is not mentioned on the OP. These kinds of requests happen all the time, which is why the thread was created.
