Michiko Yamazaki’s date of birth is confirmed, as far as I know. Fiskje88 posted her 108th birthday article on the 110 Club (https://the110club.com/japanese-supercentenarians-september-2017-t19080-s495.html), and it seems to support 28 July 1905.

The problem, as I understand it, is that Mrs. Yamazaki hasn’t been explicitly confirmed alive in about five years. The anonymous 113-year-old woman from Minamiminowa (the oldest in Nagano pref.) is presumed to be her, but it’s not certain.

I could be wrong, of course. The Japanese forum members probably know a lot more than I do about this.
