Living/Working in Japan without knowing Japanese Language at all

10 years ago
This may sound like a stupid question,


but is it possible to work / live in japan without knowing (or rather refusing to know) Japanese language at all?

Let's make it clear here that i have really no interest to learn Japanese. So i will not want to pick up anything along the way, maintaining that i will speak and communicate 100% in english at all times and not even the basics.

I hope i can get more constructive feedback here rather than flames and curses i got from the other forums.

Thanks
