The End of Late Night Work in Japan?

"At 10 p.m. at the head office of Japan's leading cosmetics maker Shiseido Co. in Tokyo's Ginza district, all the lights are switched off. The system was introduced in April last year as part of the company's efforts to reduce excessive overtime. Employees will be stopped by security guards and required to give their names and departments if they fail to leave the office before the lights-out time."
