I wasn't able to find anyone talking about this here at all. I'm currently in Japan on a working holiday visa already and I wonder if I would be allowed to extend it based on the new rules above. The only problem I have is that I just recently turned 31 and my visa ends in March. With it been Japan I doubt they will allow it since they are a stickler for rules and don't use logic for individual cases.
I'm going to go to the town hall and ask as I have nothing to lose.
