Japanese APPID application:

1) First select a Japanese Free App in the browser to download. Of course we choose Chain Chronicle.

2) Then iTunes will automatically go to the Japanese App Store interface. The user clicks "No Information" and is asked to log in to the Japanese iTunes account and password, and then selects "Create Apple ID".

3) After clicking "続ける" and "Agree.しる", the Apple ID application form will pop up. Enter your email (you cannot use an email that has already applied for an iTunes account), Password (a combination of numbers, capital letters, and English), security questions, etc. (please remember the answers yourself or copy them) and click "続ける".

4) After selecting "ない", you don't have to fill in your credit card information! Leave the "コードまた..." column blank.

5) "Request first address" requires a Japanese address, name, and phone number. You can choose one from the following link or refer to the online input to complete!
