(Speaking) No Language Exchange Partners, Find Lonely Japanese people on Mixi.
If you can get access to mixi, do community searches for "skype", and you will find 10s of thousands of people who just want someone to talk to. They won't be interested in English, they just want to talk to you.
If you do some kind of japanese/english language exchange, expect not to get much out of it.
