Are these socket in the ceiling some universal/standard for all lamps in Japanese? If so this is simply ingenious.

I can't say if they're universal, but they are definately standard. In my apartment the main rooms have them, basically anywhere a central ceiling light would be placed. Areas like kitchen,bathroom and entrance have recessed lighting with Edison screw bases for the lightbulbs.

It was fairly dark in the first few days in my unfurnished apartment until my light fixtures arrived.

I've noticed the same type lighting in four 'furnished' apartments I previously stayed in.

i was more surprised why would anyone move ceiling light? it looks very odd, i consider it part of apartment and would never think about moving it unless it is some expensive smart light, though the one in video seem quite generic
