Actually, the 30% is inclusive of teenagers, young adults, AND kids. Japan is filled with old people nowadays, because people aren't reproducing offsprings as much anymore. Also, as someone who has friends in Japan and have heard their experiences, I can accurately say that it's a fact that MOST kids grow out of watching anime and such when they get to a certain age. Really few of them keep it going, and even fewer make it to adulthood.

Understand that they don't even bother with learning English and practice speaking it to begin with it. And that's most of them, and the ones that do take English seriously, well about half of them will pronounce in the typical Japanese Romanji style i.e. McDonalds - Mackudonarudo. I'm not saying all, but most people in Japan are more focused on their own country's problems and regulations, rather than trying to appeal to the outside world. In fact, it's pretty much common knowledge that the anime industry doesn't care about what Western fans think. Their ratings, their sales, everything that factors into a series being popular for them is dependent solely on their Japanese audiences.

My point is, you are probably right to a certain degree about what the future holds, but also slightly off on how many people are actually going to be interested in these things in the long run. In fact, if anything, more Korean teeangers and young adults are invested in anime much more than the average Japanese youth. That's why most of the times, some anime are sent to Korea to get animated to begin with.
