It would be helpful if Internet Explorer could be English, too, but while it was possible to download IE in English when it was a separate program under Windows 98 and maybe under NT, it seems that it is now integrated into Vista. I downloaded it, but it says I have a newer version that the newest downloadable one.
For Vista, I can't find an English language pack, if there is such a thing. It seems odd that an English computer can be made to have Japanese menus by using a Language Pack, but the reverse doesn't seem an easy thing, if it's possible. It seems there are no English Language Packs.

Under regional and Language, all I see is options to change the time zone, the way the date is displayed, the keyboard, etc. My Japanese is not that great, but I don't see further options there for changing the interface.

It isn't possible, you can try downloading a english version, and use your legitimate license key

Go into the Regional and Language options and Look for the button to Install/Uninstall Languages
You can have Many different languages for Vista installed at the same time....
Also i found this site which has some more downloads that may work for you.

Not much help, but my brother buys software (and possibly computers) in the US for exactly that reason.
As far as a browser, you could try downloading Firefox in English; it's got a lot of advantages over IE.

Change your regional and language settings in your control panel.
