Best time to meet between Tokyo and Boston

Boston is 13 hours behind Tokyo, which is far enough that a normal 9-to-5 in one city never reaches the other's working hours. One practical option: Boston dials in early while it's still late afternoon or evening in Tokyo. These times hold for most of the year, but Boston's daylight saving (which Tokyo doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
