Do I agree with it ? I don't know but it's not something anyone can change but Japan, quite simply if you want to work there there are hurdles to it like any other country, that is simply one of them.
Don't like or agree with it, well tough ! They don't care to hear your argument putting it another way if you weren't born in the US you can't be president of the US. It's as inflexible as that.
Japan views immigration very differently then most countries, it's not a question of fair or not it's their country and their rules period.
Adapt !

Is it "Japan" that we need to change, or just organizational expectation of potential employers?
As we all have mentioned in many other thread, its a matter of whether "its worth it" or not. Academic achievement gauge more than the person's ability to conduct the work, but their grade is also an indication of their ability to learn and their sense of responsibilities
I used to hire testing and development staff on a regular basis (I am in the software field). I don't know the candidate, nor do I have any references aside from the resume. The first thing I usually read is the education section, because that tells me if this person will have the basic knowledge of the field.
If I have to go through the trouble of: Filling out an approval for hiring a foreigner, going through finances to get the proper funding, getting legal involved to settle visa requirements and any other legal work; The candidate better be the second son of Jesus and can walk on water on my request....
That piece of paper does not make you the best candidate, but it at least suggest you are in the realm of the best.... unless we can change people's expectation of wanting the best, otherwise, I don't think anything can be done around it..
