I'd hire a real Japanese if I wanted my employees to possess those qualities that are uniquely Japanese.
You wouldn't think you would last long if you had to act like someone that you weren't on a daily basis, would you? Japanese employers prefer to hire people that they can imagine will be working for them for 10-20 years.
I'd hire a non-Japanese if he had the qualities that I couldn't expect my Japanese employees to have so that he would help broaden the horizon for my company by bringing in new ideas, new perspectives, etc...

maybe I can contribute something different in the company... im just asking for little tips and pointers, not to change myself entirely...
If Japanese wanted employees just like them why do they have to invest in other countries?
