Japan’s work culture is… it’s really something, huh. I can respect it, in a lot of ways. The people who can thrive in it are amazing for that culture, and it can train an immense amount of focus and drive into people. But… it’s definitely got an equal amount of downsides.
And that’s not even touching the issue of what happens to creatives in that work environment. I’ve toyed with moving to Japan in the past, but as a professional pianist, it’s just… there’s no career for me like what I have in the US lol.
