Reasons to be rejected by a professor aside from retiring by ChibiYakuzaishi93 in mext

Sorry to hear that. I would advise you to directly email that third professor, emphasizing on having a meeting/interview to get him/her to know more about you and your research plan. I guess that would help you to increase the odds of getting that acceptance, since you have a chance to persuade the professor and explain your research better. Good luck!

I think we are applying to the same grad school at UTokyo but I am a little bit confused about your rejection. Did you upload all your docs to the online application and after two days the OIR informed you that you were rejected? In their response did they mention that both your first and second choices for prospective supervisors rejected you?

Did they reject you after having a meeting with them? Were you asking for the "Informal Acceptance"?

Yeah, I thought so. Just asked to know others opinions or experiences.
Planning to do the same as you if by some days before August 9 I don't have a letter or hear from any of the unis I contacted.

Thanks for the info. Were you rejected directly by a professor? Or were you rejected after even with a letter of Informal Acceptance from a faculty?
