it's not considered a "long term visa" legally, so it would be down to the discretion of the japanese embassy. No one else can answer this for you. Try emailing them again with the exact question of if they consider dtv as a long term visa. Maybe add a pic of your entry exit stamp.

The DTV is considered a glorified tourist visa, so not really anything in the non-immigrant visa category
