I got approved for the new apartment! It's in a superb location and allows pets.
My excitement is somewhat tempered, though, by the thought of setting up a move in my second language. It's always been a daunting enough task in my native one.
Luckily I know a bit already since I helped a friend move a few months ago, and my realtor is amazingly helpful. He's getting a thank you gift even if it's not a Thing People Do here in #Japan.
