Nope, here in South Korea they seem to prefer this “THU 21:00—05:00” format at least from what I’ve seen. I feel like fully adjusting to the Japanese format should hardly take anyone more than a few days though, even if it’s someone like me

TL;DR: With existing technology it’s tough to detect oxygen on smaller far-away planets. However, what we could instead look for is a combination of gases that likely means presence of life on earlier stages, before oxygen becomes abundant
