I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tóquio) in Mar 2013
Interview
Took 1 month from applying online, online interview (video submission), and onsite interview. Everything is nice, organized just like other Japanese tech companies.
The company is focusing more on foreign applicants as it needs to globalize its business procedures and technical groups. The interviewer asked many interesting questions, really trying to introduce about the company.
