So I'm guessing this only applies to the downloadable version? Dang it.

[Stormbringer]

i think so. OTOH direct download means no middleman/concierge mark ups.

Do you need a japanese credit card for their store?
Also, does this start tomorrow, because it says they're only like 20-23% off right now.

[Somebodyrandom]

It doesn't matter, unless your adress is in Japan the card won't go through, its closed to outside of Japan.

If you lie and say your from Japan its fruad.

Unless they are allowing it now, this isn't going to be much help to anyone outside of Japan.

[Stormbringer]

are you sure the export ban applies to digital downloads? I'm not sure. sometimes or actually often the wording of a law is such that the slightest change in circumstances negates a ban. for example it is illegal to bring prescription drugs brought in another country into the US........except small quantities clearly for personal use. So it's illegal except when it's not.

[NekoNeko104]

Well since this is not the physical product and only the downloadable version then there shouldn't be a problem getting them when you pay for it unless you can't understand Japanese at all or something

[Stormbringer]

yeah that's pretty much what i think. besides if you go through the process and it works, great! and if they decline you then nothing else happens. they aren't going to come arrest you or kill your kittens or stamp your credit cards "no dessert."

Wouldn't really make sense to not allow people to download it if they're from another country. If you get the money, then ya get the money. In this case, that's sorta what matters I think from a company perspective. Besides 53% off is a lot of money saved in regards to buying a Vocaloid.

[Somebodyrandom]

If truth be known, its likely more to do with their file host/on-line retailer service, much the way Bruno and Clara can't be bought if you have a free e-mail account... Some companies only host services within their country for various reasons like copyright or fraud preventation. '

[Nova]

Well makes sense. Fraud is something no one would ever wanna go through for sure.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! i checked on the website and it says 27% for some and 20% for others it says for CUL by herself she's 20% off,for the gumi appends separate or together their 20%,for gachapoid same deal,lily for some reason is 36% off,as for regular gumi and also for gackupo both her and him separately are 20%

hmmmm that's funny,i just checked them and their prices are still the same,hmmm if it has taken affect i wonder how much they cost right now for their downloads?

that's a good question. It's probably lost in the graphics that chrome cannot translate. We would need a Japanese fluent person to figure out where to go for the discount.

did you see my other comment? i found out that the discounts are way off and that most of them are 20% by themselves while lily is 36% off so something is fishy here

[Stormbringer]

nothing's fishy. That tweeter is an official of that company and a tweet is too small to itemize each discount.
