Another advantage, which I prefer as a Spanish speaker, is that Japanese is more complex and not so close as English is to Spanish, so I'd have to leave some previous mental structures, think in a different way and challenge the way I interpret the world itself with my first language. To me that's gold.
I studied linguistics at school and I'm an unemployed English-Spanish translator.

However, if you're a big nerd like me, you run into Japanese all the time, in the form of Japanese popular culture. If you know Japanese, you get to watch and understand movies that most of the world will never see. You get to read comics that will never get translated. And yes, you get to hit on cute Japanese exchange students. (Just stay away from my daughter.)
If you really want to learn it well, you have a great excuse for moving to Japan, where there are even more cute girls (and boys) to hit on, and where you will drown in Japanese pop culture. Of course, most people who do this don't know a word of Japanese when they arrive, but it certainly helps if you understand the language. Japan is not a bad place to live, if you enjoy teaching, for example, or working in the nightlife business.

Not that they need to *know* you can speak it. I found it very interesting to listen in to a conversation being held in front of me in French in the non-profit I'm involved with. The people speaking didn't realize I could understand them and were saying things they'd never say if they'd realized that anyone with any sway knew what they were saying. I wonder if they ever realized why their nefarious plot went wrong, teehee!

I worked in the restraunt biz for quite some time, and learned to pick up japanese. basaically cause 40% of our customers were from japan and barely spoke any english.
Japanese could benefit you in multiple ways, for one... the economy. you could benefit from being a interpreter. like the previous post above, you could also ask questions about japanese food your about to order(if you arent japanese).
