There won't be any impact unless, and until, you use programs with user interface in languages other than English or Japanese, and when you get files with names in those languages, I think. German umlauts are particularly nasty, any files with them in the names will become inaccessible, and on top of that, the umlauts are not shown in this setup so you won't be able to see and change them.
Some new programs that you install after this will also default to Japanese interface language (e.g. Nero).
For a lot of people, these things are not too big an issue.
Also, you pretty much need to do that anyway if you want to use Japanese file names, and I have far more files with Japanese names than with German ones, so I had to do this on my home PC anyway.
