The one thing you need to remember is these are 'salary' not hourly positions. Japanese work culture is very different from the US. -Most positions award 15 vacation days a year, but works will never take more then 7 (generally). -It is standard practice to claim '8' hours of labor, even if 12-14 are worked. Likewise the first 40-60 hours of overtime each month are unpaid normally. -The 'normal' work day is 12-14 hours, not 8. Also after a 2-4am session its normal to be back in the office at 9am. -Japan is also the only country is a legal term for 'Death by Overworking'. In which a family can sue the employer for forcing their loved one to work to long.
