It is compulsory in Japan to learn English in both primary and secondary school, hence many know at least the basics of English.
It is also considered 'cool' in Japan to be able to speak English, much the same way that I believe it's 'cool' to be able to speak Japanese (or any foreign language for that matter). This is why many tend to try not to forget their English.
With English being the international language, business negotiations between countries are often done in English, and this is yet another reason why many speak English.
There is no set number on how many can speak English, and in fact even those who do not know the English language may be able to understand certain words thanks to their 'katakana' alphabet, which is reserved for foreign words that are included in the Japanese language.
eg. "banana" in katakana still means "banana", and "infomeh-shion" (this is just how it sounds in the Japanese language) means "information".
