Something I learned from working for a Japanese company for many years. 

If you’re on time, you’re late.

It's prob more notable than your middle school band :)

Your Japanese company sounds like my middle school band. Well, hopefully better than that.

we are so early

That’s also a saying in the military. “If you’re on time you’re late, if you’re early you’re on time” 
Took me awhile to realize not everyone appreciates it when you show up early all the time though 😅.

This is a virtue. I learned it working at a restaurant in my teens. Not everyone gets it

if the boss is werkin' ya better be werkin'🤪

In Japan, there is a norm of acting five minutes early.😂
