Accessing Japanese music/catalog via premium

Solved!

Accessing Japanese music/catalog via premium

Hello,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to access Japanese region while using a premium service that is tied to different region/country?

 

FYI, I currently live in Australia and I'm thinking of signing up for premium subscription via Australian payment method.

 

The article (https://support.spotify.com/is/account_payment_help/account_basics/how-can-i-change-my-country-setti...) dosen't clarify whether you're able to freely access different regions or not while using a premium account.

 

Thanks and I appreciate your help.

Hey @kanade96,

 

No, you won't be able to access music that's only available in Japan. This can only be done if you have a japanese payment method or live in Japan and use a Free account.
