Certain albums unavailable to me (but are available to others)

[kwaidanz]

Hi, I use Spotify Premium from Japan. 

As the subject states, I am unable to access certain albums (they don't show up on artist's page or in search), but friends on the exact same plan and location are able to listen to them normally.

If I try to access them from a link, they show up greyed out and unavailable.

Specific albums I've noticed this with are Corpus I by Show Me the Body and The Connect: Dejavu by Monsta X.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Can you send us the URI/Link to the albums you're referring to? We'll check it on our end if they're are indeed unavailable in Japan at the moment.

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

Hey there @kwaidanz,

Thanks for the links.

We checked backstage and it seems that these albums are not available for streaming in Japan currently, this is why they would appear grayed out in your app.

If your friends have access to them, they might be using a VPN or proxy, which is not recommended.

Hope this clears things up.
