Is this "crappy"? I'd assume it's meant to indicate "next day". In 24 hour time systems, you might see 25:00, 26:00 etc to do the same.
I have never in my life seen anyone write the next day as e.g. 25:00.
It would be rather something like 1:00+1 or whatever.

Now you have.
Interesting, just a Japan thing then or is this used in other places?
Don't know, tbh, I've seen it in Japan and kind of figured it might exist elsewhere too. Since OP provided no further context, I thought I'd mention it.
Ever since I saw it in Japan I realized that it's just the best way. It eliminates all confusion about what "1am Tuesday" means. And 27:59 rolling into 4:00, or 28:59 rolling into 5:00, makes perfect sense since 4-5am is a normal sunrise time most of the year in Japan
