I was looking at this link which mentions no smiling and hair away from the face and forehead, but yeah yours is probably more accurate.
My daughter has a similar hair style and for her Norwegian passport she had to tie the bangs with a hair clip before they accepted it. Somehow I would have thought Japan would be just as strict.
Yeah, seems weird to me that they’d accept that as a passport photo in Japan. There’s a whole pdf of unacceptable photos on this government page, and includes not only a smile, but also bangs over your forehead, not exposing your ears, etc.
