Your native language will affect the pronunciation of other languages you learn to speak. However, you don't have to worry about any second language you learn (after you are a child) affecting additional languages you learn.

My first lesson to you is to learn the capitalization rules of English!  If you don't know see

If you don't understand, ask. :)

Japanese pronunciation is easy.  Its syllables ends in vowels.  Won't affect you in anyway.  Chinese has more sounds than Japanese and English has more sounds than Chinese.  So you are already affected.  You just have to train your tongue more.

This is what I think: one learns what one likes more and faster. It is easier at least. It is not always like that, but it helps a lot! I don't think Japanese will affect your english pronunciation at all, or of any other language. But that is what I say. I don't know Japanese, but this is my personal opinion.
