I was hoping that someone might be able to do a quick translation of the Japanese portions of the pic below. I love the stuff that these guys produce but it seems impossible to download outside of Japan. By the looks of the English text a download store will be opening this month, but they had a download store before that didn't work for me. Anyone who can shed some light on this?
It gives details about the location, which I can translate if needed.
Unfortunately it doesn't state an exact date the download store goes live, nor does it give any information about how the download store will work for customers outside of Japan...
I'm still waiting on the store myself. When it was up a few months ago they had a store, but it rejected both of my cards, which leads me to believe it only accepts Japanese CC's (that or my banks denied it...which doesn't make sense considering I've made visits to Japan in the past and never had issues).
I just hope they fix it or come to some sort of agreement with a US/EU producer to distribute their material. I'd love to see the content, especially the Vocaloid/Hatsune Miku stuff.
So, USAMilk just updated their download store and I have some good news and bad news...
Good news is that they have about four new videos up, and they now take PayPal. I just downloaded one of their videos (a cosplay video for Kancolle) and the quality is fantastic, clocking in at 46 minutes.
Bad news, you'll need to register for their site and the form is all in Japanese. If enough people are interested, I can perhaps make a tutorial/translation in how to register for the site. Also the download speed is quite slow (200k/s for a 2GB file), so it may take a while...
As far as the older videos, I have no idea if they will be made available via their download store. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to see them show up eventually (especially the Hatsune Miku cosplay video...drools), but right now they seem to be just domestic DVD/CD orders. I'd like to send their webmaster a question to see if they will put the old videos up, but my Japanese writing abilities is very basic.
I hope we have some Japanese-speaking wammers here who might be able to ask?
