Hikaru is one of my closest friends here in The Netherlands. He is such an interesting person who is a really dedicated, hard-working person. I learned a lot from talking with him. Hikaru and I discuss Japanese society's perspective, Karoshi (Dead from overworking), the dark side of Japanese hard-working culture, corporation expectations on employees, the Japanese drinking culture, how he changed for the past 1.5 years living abroad, and his personal thoughts.
