Would like to add that server location is not the issue here, there a posts on the jap forums and the english one for ppl living in japan that suffer the exact same issue, this is a client->server->client issue, myself although not in japan i'm pretty dam close. before i move to aisa i was in the uk and the connection is no better this side of the world a assure you.

Check out this post this is the latest one i've seen on this issue there is also videos ppl have posted that shows other side effects of this issue.
