From my experience in Japan and C# Unity. Japanese don’t know English well to be able to communicate. But they’re still good at coding. My mentor didn’t know any English but he bought English books and looked at the code rather than reading it. People who don’t know English can do the job but communication would be a problem.

My basic Tokyo routine as a lead programmer role in a big mobile game in Japan.

I wake up around 6:30 eat breakfast. Leave around 7:15 Take train at 7:30 (crowded train, reading Hacker News, tech news, game news and study Japanese) Arrive around 8:30 at work, and I make a coffee. Don’t start work just yet so I watch Collider Movies news. 9:00 start work (prepare for meetings, light programming or planning new layout for new event or features) 10:10 we have System morning meeting. (Today’s task announcement, other relative news for today or shared meeting announcement) 10:30 Team morning meeting (Announcement from planners about progress of new event layouts, basic sales announcement for yesterday and other announcement regarding the project) 10:40 work starts again (work from now on also consist of answering junior developers questions and problems when called upon, also checking progress of what all programmers are doing) 13:30 Lunch for an hour 14:30 return to work 18:00 Work finished 18:10 Take train home (Study Japanese or programming) 19:00 Spend time with family and newborn 23:00 Time for myself 24:00 Go to bed
