Are you absolutetly certain the email is from PayPal?

I suspected it is a phishing scam.

PayPal isn't going to send an email  with a link to validate your account.  The link is for a non-PayPal site to collect your PapyPal login credentials and take money from your online accounts.

not japanese but whatever , try to go back to the paypal homepage if you're still login logout first and you'll be back at the homepage , at the bottom part of the page, there's a flag , try changing it to a US flag.

try to logout if the homepage is still in chinese even after logging out it can be an internet provider issue or router problem.

but if it only happens when you login then the problem is inside your account's settings and might need to call customer support.

you can try to login to your PayPal account > Click the gear icon beside "Log out" > In the "Account options" section click Edit beside "Language." > Select your preferred language.
