No no no no no@FiFo;
what a strange response !!!
I think they are not willing to speak.
I did, and...meh
They said that the staff kept on changing and new information might be lost in between
However, he told me to email him all my concerns and he will reply by tomorrow
Although the guy was so helpful, but I didn't expect an instant reply...
Well, it actually says that if you've been in Japan on a MEXT scholarship before (not just any scholarship or a JASSO one, but the MEXT scholarship), they won't award you the scholarship this time around, especially as research students or grad students.
"(9) Scholarships will not be awarded in the following cases:
1: The Applicant is an active member of the military or a civilian employed by the military
2: The Applicant is unable to travel to Japan within the dates set by the receiving university
3: The Applicant was a grantee of a Japanese Government Scholarship in the past will not be selected unless he/she has had at least three years of research or teaching experience after completion of the first scholarship. This exclusion will not apply to a research-student applicant, who (i) as a foreign student in Japan received training in the Japanese language and/or Japanese culture at a university and graduated from it, or who (ii) was a foreign student in Japan under the Japan-Korea Joint Science and Engineering Students Exchange Program.

My advice is that you keep up the good relation with the professorMy professor message to me, yesterday:
"Almeid4,
I have SKYPE in my office and if you want to talk for free and see me you can send me a mail and Skype address and we can talk as long as you please.
Don't worry about the scholarship!!
See you soon,
XXXXX."
I love my professor *_________*" He always giving me a lot of hopes, he turns everything in a 'so esay thing'!!
Today is november 22nd. Our answer is so near now... Just one more month, guys!
We'll stay togheter in Japan!! Let's be positive ::
Anyway good luck,
I wish they tell you good news.
Thank you for the helpful infoFifo: If you're already here on the scholarship, yes, it's easy to extend it to cover your next program. I was here as a research student and had to extend the scholarship to cover my Master's. If I decided to continue on into a PhD (I won't), I could extend it again. If I finished up and went home, however, I couldn't apply for the scholarship again and receive it.
Same goes for anyone who used MEXT for Japanese Studies or Undergraduate or any of the other ones. If you've already been here on a government scholarship, finished the program, and gone home, you can't get another one unless you've taught/researched for 3 years, etc.

True. But that was years ago. A lot has changed, and the budget cuts and quota reduction is real...
Calm down!What you have said above is just rumor. You know, if any sudden changes happen, they will announce for applicants since they have nothing to hide. As far as I concern, quota is constant but monthly stipend will lessen
...The part of MEXT budget plan for higher education in 2011 can be downloaded here at http://www.mext.go.jp/component/b_menu/other/__icsFiles/afieldfile/2010/09/01/1297091_10.pdf
Unfortunately, it's in Japanese and they don't seem to have English version. The part of Budget allocated for MEXT students and the number can be found at the lower part of page 5 and the upper part of the last page as well. Even if you don't know Japanese, you should be able to glance at the numbers. And 国費外国人留学生 in Japanese means the MEXT scholarship students in English. And 億円 means 0.1 billion JPY, while 人 is the a number refering to people. And 平成２３年 at the front of the page means the year 2011.
