I lived one year in Japan on a language student visa. Can I go back for a second year later?

Hi! A couple of years ago I got a student visa for a language school. My residence permit was 1 year and 3 months (seems to be a standard duration), but I only stayed for one year.

Since I wasn't a language student for the full 2 years, would I be able to re-apply in the future as a language student? And if so, would I be able to do so for 1 year, or would it have to be 9 months since that's what the residence permit was set as (even if I didn't use up the entire duration)?

I've just been rethinking certain life choices regarding my Japanese language education and I haven't been able to find a definite answer to this question, maybe I'm just not using the right keywords. The official resources I've checked don't say this isn't possible, but they don't say it is either (I'm guessing because it's a pretty niche case?). Thanks in advance! 🙂
