I'm hired for 3 years in a position slightly higher than I had before. I'm staying on the same project and on the same team but I'll drop all the basely technical stuff and focus entirely on functional definitions and architecture of the application we manage.

It's a big relief for me as I will not have that pending visa expiration constantly nagging me and I can start thinking of my longterm life here in Japan.

It also means I'm gonna start paying taxes... It sucks... I guess the universe has to balance itself, to each action a reaction.
