Osaka is 14 hours ahead of Houston

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

A 14-hour difference puts Houston and Osaka out of sync — when one team is mid-morning, the other is fast asleep. Consider rotating the inconvenience: one week Houston takes the early call, the next week Osaka does. Keep an eye on the calendar — Houston observes daylight saving and Osaka doesn't, which nudges this window by an hour twice a year.
