with Sazanami Gothic not VLGothic

I think it's probably true. If your Ubuntu box is optimized for Japanese,  
fontconfig might give first preference to VL PGothic. I tried the
following command, and then Chromium actually started using VL PGothic as a  
fallback font!

$ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/ ; sudo ln  
-s ../conf.avail/69-language-selector-ja-jp.conf .

Here is the memory map:

$ cat /proc/28974/maps | grep fonts    # Note: IPA/IPA-Mona Japanese fonts  
are not installed on this machine.
b2ea1000-b326d000 r-xs 00000000 08:03 1664059     
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf
b33e0000-b3424000 r-xs 00000000 08:03 688315      
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf
