I also think the language barrier will be a tough one, my japanese is getting there but saying the words exactly as they need to be said is a little problematic to me.

I can definitely see that being an issue. I used to date an EMT and he would work 12 hour shifts, but he was also on-call when he wasn't "on the clock." We did well with it, but I won't lie and say it didn't put a strain on our relationship. Both people have to be super flexible about it...and whoever's the one without the funky schedule has to be very understanding and selfless about it.
