I have been there the last few times and I was never disappointed! There were roughly about 30 people I would guess, working on very different things (arduino hackers, lawyers, web devs, firmware programmers, people who just enjoy reading HN etc.). The majority foreigners and most Japanese people who attended spoke a decent amount of English. However, at the last meeting (or the one before) it was maybe around 50/50 foreigners/japanese...
The atmosphere was very relaxed and "open", so you got to talk to everybody who you wanted to, which made for some really interesting discussions.
Afterwards, I'd say about half the people or more headed out to the "Tap room", a nice bar with all sorts of beer. If you're in Tokyo and have never attended before, I'd give it a go.
