JP side has a thread going cheering YoshiP just like on the NA side, he responded over there. The thread title is Number of people cheering yoshiP -> and has arrow pointing to number of responses/view. If you want to just click to increase the view go ahead lol.

Good evening everyone, Producer/Director Yoshida Here,

吉田をはじめ、開発一同目頭が熱くなるような言葉の数々、本当にありがとうございます。
ローンチ以降、歯を食いしばってプレイして頂いてる皆さん、噂を聞きつけ途中からプレイ頂いてる皆さん、
そして最近プレイを開始してくれた皆さん、本当に頭が下がります。
Starting with me, and the devs; thank you very much for many kind words.
Players who started playing grinding their teeth since launch, players that have heard rumors and started playing from in between, and players who just started, thank you (says atama ga sagaru, means head is low, like JP style bowing, means sorry, thanks)

今日は休憩時間のスタッフのモニターにこのスレッドが映っているのを何度も目撃しました。
物凄いパワーを頂いてます、本当に感謝です！
（もちろん他の各担当スレッドも拝見してますよ！）
I saw on break time today on staff's monitor with this thread many times.
We received a lot of power, thank you really!
(Of course looking at other threads too!)

吉田の場合、食生活のご心配まで頂いて恐縮です^^;
1.19まで禁煙！とも言って頂いてますが、スケジュールに影響出るので無理かとｗ
For Yoshida, thanks for even considering about my food life stlye ^^;
Some saying don't smoke till 1.19! but that would affect the schedule so I think that's not possible w

引き続き、開発も運営も全力で突っ走っていきますので、今後ともよろしくお願いします。

今の流れなら言えるっ……
優しい一言も、厳しいお言葉も、FFXIVのことを思って言ってくださる皆さんのこと、大好きです！（ぽっ
Since it's not I can say....
Kind words, or hard words... for those that say it thinking of FFXIV, I like you! (blush
