Mother tongue is American English, pretty strong in Mexican Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, but I falter with Caribbean and Rioplatense Spanish and European Portuguese.
Native portuguese, fluent-ish english and spanish (they are far worse than at their prime though), sort of intermediate german (but who knows really) and learning french.
At some point I also tried some japanese and mandarin, but I guess there was no true dedication to them. Maybe in the future...

Don't worry, european portuguese is also a problem to many brazilians, as we are not used to watching/hearing portuguese media.
English, Mandarin chinese, Amoy, my cantonese and Japanese is rough since I haven't used them in a while.
I'm fluent in English, Tagalog, and French. I can understand a local language (Cebuano) but oddly enough I can't speak it, but I understand when people speak in Cebuano to me.
Recently, I decided to pick up Spanish and I'm already in A1.3. I just got side-tracked with how busy I have been these past few weeks but once the semester is over, I'm planning to go back to studying/taking classes.

German and english.
English was like 95% self-taught by playing video games which only had english texts, anime with english subtitles, talking english to people over Xbox Live back then, and being around english speaking video game forums etc.

English and Japanese, but I'm not super fluent in Japanese. If you start talking to me about harder subjects like politics, science and stuff I'll not understand.
I plan on finishing my Japanese eventually then moving onto Mandarin.

100% English
30% Spanish
10% Japanese
10% Haitian Creole
Those are rough estimates, I'm not sure if you can learn 100% of a language lol

Spanish and English. I'm trying German and I don't plan to stop trying, I don't know how many years it will take but I will get there (self learning).
Other than that I might try to learn Italian or Portuguese due to the heavy similarities to Spanish.

Bro, got any good books/resources for someone who wants to get fully fluent?
I take it you don't live in Japan? If at all possible, it is best to find a Japanese friend to have regular correspondence with. I think that helped me just as much or more than my studies did in the end.
As a monolingual dumbfuck, I'm super jealous of you multilingual types. AT BEST, I can say I understand some Spanish and read it at a low intermediate level. It makes you look sophisticated in my eyes.
Fluent in both Spanish (Latin American) and English. Grew up speaking Spanish at home and English elsewhere.
English, Spanish, some French. I know enough Portuguese to get me by and I've been trying to learn Japanese on Duolingo.

Lived there for a bit, but currently can't go back. Most of my Japanese friends are a bit too busy so I have to rely on other methods
A secondary motivation. I learned of capoeira's existence from Lucio (when his relevant skin dropped) and began seriously practicing. Regardless, it's an unspoken expectation that as a capoeirista, you learn Portuguese on top of everything else. So I do my Duolingo lessons to keep in my master's good graces lol.
