Whooah!!
Now I get it, your even more a scumbag scammer than I thought. Guest of Japan is the infamous mr Sekiguchi. Now I get it. You know your companies reputation is toast so you troll internet forums pretending to be a gaijin. Even your user name is one that foreigners would use. Then you con desperate people like I was into working for your company. Of course if you say your company is great no one will believe you but if you say it is a bit illegal but pays a good salary people jump. Man you are even more of a scammer than I thought.
If you are a genuine guy how come you know Sekiguchi LSJs main man only offers contracts for schools he has? How do you not know he makes money by frog marching people to ATMs demanding 30.000 yen to sign a piece of paper? Easy because you are Sekiguchi. H. Sekiguchi from Chiba.
Your quote "When I quit I had zero confidence that I would see all of my salary and bonuses paid, but to my delight I received all of it. Granted, I left Sekiguchi thinking that I was staying in Japan and I always tried to make him subtlely aware that I am knowledgeable of my legal rights in Japan. I never made any open threats or attacks on his character."
To my delight I received all of it? That is so pathetic Mr Sekiguchi, if you work you get your salary only a scammer would say that why would you be delighted to get your salary? That is exactly the way you work.
And Mr Sekiguchi AKA Guest of Japan tries to say Aeon is the same as his company. Bull crap man Aeon employs thousands of people and Language Systems Japan hardly has any workers in fact I have never ever met anyone apart from you working for them. That is why I think he is a scammer and there was only me the dumb sucker that got conned on an internet forum working for him. You are the biggest scumbag in the world you are going to rot in hell anyway. I hate you!

Good point and that goes to show how absolutely poop Language Systems Japan is that they would hire someone as stupid as me wgho can't spell or write English because I'm not a native speaker but 30.000 yen goes a long way. I still am owed Money.

Maybe I did jump the gun because I just found this interesting thread by Guest of Japan
http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/job/viewtopic.php?t=23419&highlight=lsj

so something happened and he became LSJ Mr Sekiguchis gimp.

I told Mr. Sekiguchi that I was told by Guest of Japan someone working for his company that his company had an illegal contract and he asked me who Guest of Japan was and I told him it was some guy on an internet forum and he went really red in the face and seemed really angry.

It's not to prove that I'm not Sekiguchi, but I'll answer your questionish statements.

1. You have to pay 30.000 yen at interview yes or no? If you get hired you do.
2. The contract has so many illegal clauses in it yes or no? Yes.
3. The company will not give you 10 flexible days off when you want them? You'll get all the national holicays and a very long summer break. I figure I only worked about 140 days a year for a full time salary. You can quibble about that ten days all you want, but you should be prepared to sacrifice your paid summer vacation to get it.
4. They will not tell you holidays? Being that they only give you the work schedule monthly it is difficult to plan your vacation time.
5. On-call days if you don't answer your phone the first time you lose 20.000 yen. I can't speak for others, but I frequently missed the first call, I always called back soon after and never got deducted. Once I didn't get the call for a few hours. Sekiguchi must have called me a half dozen time in those two hours. When I called back he was angry, I apologized, we arranged a meeting for that day, and I never had my salary deducted.
6. If you are 5 mintues late you lose 5000 yen. During my first year I lost about 5000 yen one month, but I was 5 to 10 minutes late quite frequently that month and the school complained. I'm man enough to admit it was my fault.
7. he gives no training or materials to teach with and then complains at you and deducts money if you write one letter out side of a box? You are teaching in private high schools. You are planning the curriculum, planning all lessons, running the class with a variable amount of support from a Japanese teacher who may or may not be there, and creating and administering tests which actually do count. The training for this is called a degree in teaching with a student teaching experience. There is no one week course Sekiguchi can run to prepare you for this. And knowing that Sekiguchi's knowledge of teaching, I really wouldn't want him to try. As for the paperwork you give lessong plans for the semester where the only thing you have to mention is some target language, and you have to give monthly lesson reports to verify that you are actually trying to teach something. He is anal about the punctuality and neatness of these reports. They are an annoying part of the job. What was even more annoying was that during my third year he started demanding that I submit original worksheets for over 80% of my classes or face a financial penalty. That was the thing that set me off. In the end I just devoted some time to making some worksheets up that I never even used. My lesson reports became works of historical fiction, but I still got my salary. By this point my school was strongly on my side. I had a head English teacher who was both competent and strong willed who went to bat for me to keep Sekiguchi out of my hair.
8. You owe me 100.000 yen? Consult your labor board or take him to court.
9. Mr Sekiguchi uses hair dye. Probably, but so does my wife.
10. He is a liar? Yes.

Sorry GOJ, tigerwood just sounds bitter (not that either of you were happy after working for LSJ). Maybe he should change his name to tigerbeer !

Some of the posts in this thread are painful to read.

Has there been any resolution?

Is there a crooked Japanese businessman that has indeed infiltrated the forums? Is Tigerwood off his medication? What is the final verdict here?
