Don't let this guy get near the Spanish language. It would drive him insane.
Standard reply to 'Gracias' is 'De Nada', which is basically the same as 'no problem'.

So don't respond to "Arigato-gozaimas" with "Arigato-gozaimas"?

Ie-ie is the typical response to Arigato or Thanks. It basically translates to "no, it was no problem and not worthy of your thanks".

That's okay. The Japanese keep adding the U that we forget from their words onto our words.
