Too true! I often found a late-evening ride on the train to be a rather depressing experience - crowds of office workers, all looking dog tired and/or dozing in their seats. Many would hang from the straps with their eyes closed, as if trying to snatch the least bit of rest. I love many things about Japan, but not their workaholic ideal.
I find this really funny.
