Japan also uses the Gregorian Calendar. I think the Emperor era designation is an informal thing, as in daily life it would be to complicated.

The Imperial era years are quick commonly used on official forms. If you live in Japan you will soon learn the current year and the year you were born. The Gregorian Calendar years are also common, and the New Year is on the same day.
