All of the Caucasian children from Viras through Zigra did in fact speak Japanese. They were children of American military stationed ove rin japan in the late 60's/early 70's. Daiei intended Gaos to be the last entry until an American investment company 9cant recall the name offhand) gave them money to make more films provided an American child was featured in each (Viras-Zigra). Thus the reason for their inclusion, and the dramatic change in tone making the series more silly and child friendly from that point on.
I don't see it on Amazon anymore, but I actually have a Destroy all Planets dvd with an audio commentary with the original American child actor who was in that film.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
