I can explain this behavior, if it helps. The first date is unambiguous. We do have a parser that ignores all punctuation. It checks if it can find 3 numbers, and if there is only one way these 3 numbers can be mapped to a year, month, and day. This works for an input like "2001 8 31", but not "2016 7 1". The later can be January 7th or July 1st. The current set of parsers can't know and gives up. One possible solution is to add a new parser especially for Japanese dates.
