I wouldn't say the Japanese are bilingual or even mostly bilingual... they are able to distinguish certain English words which they see commonly. For the most part you can recognise single words in languages if you see them enough in context and learn their meaning. English speaking people do the same thing with Japanese words, the big thing is trying to read full English sentences or full Japanese sentences if you don't actually know the language.
You've read it! You can't unread it!
