Noisy Neighbor (at wit’s end)

I live in Hokkaido and I moved one city over earlier this year. I love my current apartment (location/size/layout) but there is one problem. The dude next to me has his TV on TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY on top of all other sorts of random noise he’s making at all hours (definitely Japanese, probably mid/late 30’s)

I have contacted the apartment management company multiple times and they said they would talk to him but it doesn’t seem to do much good. I’ve tried taking videos when the noise is especially loud and disruptive but my phone mic is only so good and the sound on the video is no where near close to how bad it is in real life.

Any advice on next steps or what to do would be appreciated. I’ve literally forgotten what silence sounds like because I don’t remember the last time I was in my apartment and wasn’t hearing his TV through the goddamn wall.

(Also yes, I have Noise cancelling headphones that I use but who wants to be using headphones every minute of every day in their own apartment?)
