You're spoiled by countries where captioning is mandated in some fashion by the law. It's certainly not mandated for everything in the US, but most media companies end up shelling out to do it at some point since they imagine their content will be used in a situation where compliance is mandated. There is no similar requirement in Japan so it's very common for things like TV show DVD's to not have closed-captioning. This is especially true for any content aimed at children. The idea is that the target market can't read so there's no reason to provide captioning. It's pretty silly for the television content since it IS captioned when it goes out to broadcast on TV, but they just don't bother putting that on the DVD releases.

captkirk posted:What's even the point of HSFP? Just faster route to permanent resident? From what I can tell you still need a sponsoring org and the visa is tied to the sponsor so if you quit/get fired you have to immediately transition to a different visa type. Working in an industry where the majority of foreigners I work with are on that visa, it seems mostly like its purpose is as a fast track for specific kinds of employers to be able to pull in talent from overseas with minimal hassle. On the employee side there's not really anything super huge that's different between it and other kinds of work visas. There's some perks to it, but they're mostly the kind of perks that make sense for advancing the main purpose of giving specific Japanese institutions the ability to recruit knowledge workers from overseas.
