I just took a look at Metropolis magazine and discovered that they have compiled a list of Japanese language schools in Tokyo. I can't vouch for any of these places, but the URLs are provided and for Tokyo based people looking for some formal learning, this could save you some Googling. There is also a short article on successful bilingual foreigners, but it's light on details and could be summed up in the words "knowing Japanese will increase your opportunities for success."
Interesting to see that they expanded the list to include Kanagawa Prefecture, but did not include schools in Saitama or Chiba.
