Well, if you did a little snooping around on their forums, they are working on a english guide as well as translating the updates as they come along on the website. They themselves have said that all out of region players are welcome into playing the game as they want to play with other hunters around the world as well, since there's no IP block on the game.

Also, seeing as how it was a really limited amount of people who could play, like 1k or so, they said it would be hard to get into it with the amount of people trying for the closed beta (which is going on right now) so they said to wait for open beta, so you can try then. There's a few guides on sign up if you put a little effort into looking for something like that, of course.

I couldn't grab a key when they were sent out, but I'm waiting for Open Beta as everyone said to do. There's videos out there (listed below in the comments here) so it's not like you'll be left in the dark about the game and such. Just look on youtube for "怪物猎人Online" and filter for latest uploads.
