Cool, I've never seen this one with the actual passport photo. That hair and smile though... Based on a quick google that's not approved for a Japanese passport photo.

Relevant section:

Any photos with an exaggerated smile with teeth showing, hair covering the eyes, or any digitally altered photos may not be accepted.

I can see how that smile might not fit that req, but also since it is a "may not" instead of "will not" I imagine whoever is doing the paperwork has some leeway.

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.
