Can an astronomy graduate apply for a postgraduate degree in data science or computer science through MEXT?

Hi! I have a bachelor's degree in astronomy, and I'm interested in applying for a MEXT scholarship for a postgraduate degree in Japan. I would like to change my field a bit and study something more related to programming, like data science or computer science.
Is it possible to apply for a different (but somewhat related) field like that through MEXT? Has anyone done something similar or knows if this kind of transition is accepted?
Any advice would be really helpful. Thank you!
