Japanese Prime Minister Koiichi did a highly unusual act by convening a study session at the early hour of 3AM. This meeting comes amidst turbulent times for the government as Japan faces multiple challenges. As reports came out, leaders across the world are both surprised and impressed by Koiichi's commitment to address issues, considering the uncommon timing.
The gesture is seen as commendable by many Japanese citizens since it showcases commitment and leadership. Japan, in its tradition of discipline and intense work ethic, highly values acts that demonstrate such resolve. In this case, the legislative process, and being willing to put in the extra effort to understand the complex issues, has received positive attention from the public.
In the US, it is rare to observe such unusual hour meetings unless there is a crisis or emergency. Moreover, such actions could be seen as showing dedication, but also, they may elicit concern about work-life balance. In the EU, similar situations depend on the country and its specific work culture.
