@MutsuAnjin For those in decent jobs, it is only natural to have at least one foreign colleague / manager / subordinate to work with, and making PR requirements this strict would pose a literal threat to their ongoing business.
Wages in Japan has been stagnant for 30 years. The gov had a plan to raise the minimum wage to 1500 yen (a whopping ($9) and had to postpone it to the early 2030s bc businesses howled.
Japan would rather ring every last dime out of foreigners than fix its busted economy
