I'd like to hear your thoughts on them charging more just for language support.
There are a lot of foreigners living and working in Japan who get paid in yen and live their lives just like everyone else here. I've seen mixed opinions on this — things like, "If you live in Japan, you should make the effort to learn Japanese." But I don't think that's really the issue here.
