Work not giving me Holiday

Hello. I was wondering if there was any exception to the law that workers are to receive at least 10 days paid vacation time if they work over 6 months. This is supposed to be for anyone employed in Japan whether they are a foreigner or not.
I work in entertainment for a very big company on a year long contract, but they don't give us any sick days or paid holiday the entire year, and we work full-time. Is this legal? Is there some loop-hole that allows companies to get away with this, maybe for instance because my job is in entertainment (shows and stuff), or because I am a contracted foreigner ?
Thank you for your help

it depends on the contract. is the contract 雇用契約書 or something similar ? 雇用 means the company hires you.
if the company hires you as you work for pre-fixed time, you may get a constant monthly salary. the company is requested to give holidays for employees.
you say you are working in entertainment. if so, working may not be pre-fixed and your monthly income may not be constant. you may not be hired by that company and you may be a self-employer.
