Currently I am paying both into the Japanese Pension and making voluntary contributions to my British Pension, as I know I can receive that in Japan when I retire.
Odd question: If I passed away while receiving my British pension in Japan, would my Japanese wife still be able to continue receiving my pension? Like a Widows pension?
We are married in Japan, and the UK typically recognises this, but I also know how penny pinching the UK can be.
A rather dark question I know, but I think it’s smart to consider even to that point in the future.
If anyone has any ideas, advice, or comments, I’d love to hear them.

~~Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t pensions only for you when you’re alive? Isn’t collecting a dead person pensions consider fraud? Are you thinking of life insurance by any chance?~~
