Wow, I can't believe someone actually investigated and followed up on that.

They're pretty strict about that kinda thing. Usually they try to get the numerous Chinese and Filipina girls that their pimps provide fake marriages for so they can bring them into the country.

She and Sasaki were acquainted through a cosplay event held in Shinjuku's Kabukichō district. Wong reportedly has interests in Lolita fashion and cosplay, which contributed to her desire to stay in Japan.
This explains so much.

It did say that earlier in the article as well.

I kind of get the feeling that if your interest for staying in Japan is because you like Lolita as a fashion style, you're probably there for the wrong reasons.

I dunno, I'm sure people go to Japan for more shallow reasons. Like if they like the fashion and whatnot, then why the hell not
