References by back check

I want to ask if anyone else has had experience with back check.

I’m applying for a job and they’re asking me to provide some references (which is understandable).

However, they’re doing the checks via back check, who’s asking me to provide 2 former co-workers (one of which MUST be a manager) who are willing to upload their id photos as proof, answer a 1 hour online questionnaire, within a 3-day deadline.

I have the references ready, but is this invasive practice normal in Japanese companies, or is it a red flag?

Thanks!
