If you are asking me, loanwords that came from Japanese (like ninja, samurai, karate etc) and words that express uniquely Japanese concepts are OK (It would be weird otherwise).

Sure, I'll stray a bit off topic to answer this:

The answer to your first question all depends on the ages and statuses of the speaker and the receiver, but assuming it's a younger kid talking to other kids he/she knows and are about the same age level, then it would be:

Hey, can I play with you guys?

I can see in the future a word like kawaii becoming a loanword in English to mean over-the-top or frivolous cuteness, cuteness for cuteness sake.  Basically I can see it representing the whole Japanese culture-of-cute, e.g. Hello Kitty and friends, maid cafes, neko-onna (girls dressed up in cat outfits), chibi (baby-faced characters), etc...

It's a very probable possibility, seeing how the English word "cute" becomes more and more common in my native language in place of native words of similar meaning... Well, I'm not in a position to control the evolution of any language...
