I think it is more common for them to write 8:00 to 25:00 - omitting AM and PM.

  AM and PM is used in a few languages (mostly English) but many don't have it in their vocabulary at all, which probably includes Japanese.

    In the case of Japanese, there is 午前・午後 for 12-hour time. e.g. 午後９時に着く (arrive at 9 P.M.). If it's obvious from context, then only the hour is said. e.g. in「明日３時にね」, the flow of the conversation disambiguates the hour (it's also unlikely the speaker means 3 A.M.) There are also other ways to convey 12-hour time. e.g. 朝６時に起きる (wake up at 6 A.M. / wake up at 6 in the morning).

    And even if they have, representations of noon and midnight differ.
