I'd say $60k-$80k are for mid-level in Japan (US "senior") and $80-$100k are for senior in Japan (US "staff"-"principal"). In Japan you don't consider someone senior after 3-4 years working. Most of my mid-level dev friends working locally make in the $60k-$80k range, and I know 3 senior devs making $100k+ (I work for a US startup so I am excluding myself).
The longest open jobs in public boards are unsurprisingly those devs don't want because they pay too little. So if you try to estimate pay based on those boards I'd say you are under-estimating it.
