 本期内容：
Japanese advertising1 firm Dentsu has been fined for making employees work excessive overtime2, a practice that is widespread in the country. On Friday, a Tokyo court ordered the company to pay 500,000 yen3 for violating labor4 laws. Dentsu's workplace culture has been scrutinized5 after young worker Matsuri Takahashi killed herself in 2015. Death from overwork is a longstanding problem in Japan and even has its own word: karoshi.
