Is there any point in learning a language other than English and Japanese?

No. Those are the two essential languages.

There isn't anything interesting to read, watch, or listen to in Japanese, really. At least not unless you're like a PhD level speaker. The only reason you'd want to learn Japanese is if you live there.

Swap Japanese with Mandarin

japan has literally the highest per capita production of good media of any country on the planet. it's not just anime. they have the world's best dramas, movies, and tv shows, excellent novels, literature, and videogames. one learns japanese because of the content

Japanese is only useful if you're an artist.

No they don't. The only thing I'll grant you is video games, and most of those are in English anyway.

They make good music

English : alone covers 90% of the world's expertise
French : mainstream art, culinary, fashion, English literature
Russian : study of the eastern bloc
Greek : botanists and zoologists to coin names of new species
Hebrew, Arabic : respective religious stuffs
Japanese : subculture art

You need German to speak to the gnomes in the forest o algo.
