PayPal is available in two types: monthly payment and annual payment.
 

▼ For Monthly Payment

Please select "PayPal" for monthly payment and proceed with the subscription on the Premium Membership registration page.

If you do not cancel by the end of the month, your subscription will automatically continue for the following month, and the fee will be charged at the beginning of the month.
The fee is not prorated; so for example, even if you subscribe on January 31, the fee for January will be 790 yen.
 

■Premium membership period for monthly payment

• Your membership is valid for one month from the day you sign up and will expire at the end of the month.
• Subscriptions automatically renew monthly unless you cancel.
• Once you cancel your subscription, your Premium membership will be cancelled simultaneously, resulting in your status reverting to free.

 

■Price

• 790 yen (JPY)(tax included)
• If you cancel and resubscribe within the same month, you will be charged a monthly fee for each.

 

■Fee accrual dates

• Your first payment will be charged on the day of purchase.
• The next payment will be on the 1st/2nd of the following month.

For example, if you signed up on January 25, your first payment is January 25 for your January bill. Your second payment is due at the beginning of February for the February bill.
 

▼For Annual Payment

Please select “PayPal” for annual payment and proceed with the subscription on the premium member registration page.
 

■Premium membership period for annual payment

• Your membership is valid for one year from the day of subscription to the last day of the month prior to the following year's subscription month.
• Subscriptions automatically renew annually unless you cancel.
• Once you cancel your subscription, even in the middle of a year, your Premium membership will be cancelled simultaneously, resulting in your status reverting to free.

 

■Price

• 7,900 yen (JPY)(tax included)
• If you cancel and resubscribe within one year of your subscription, you will be charged an annual fee each time you resubscribe.

For example, if you subscribe on June 10, 2024, cancel on October 20, 2024, and resubscribe on October 21, 2024, you will incur annual fees on June 10, 2024 and October 21, 2024.
 

■Fee accrual dates

• Your first payment will be charged on the day of purchase.
• The next payment will be on the 1st/2nd of the following year's subscription month.

For example, if you subscribe on June 10, 2024, the first year fee will accrue on June 10, 2024, and the second year fee will accrue on or about June 1st or 2nd, 2025.
 

▼Common notes for monthly payment and annual payment

NOTICE

After completing payment through PayPal, you will receive two emails. The first will be an email confirming the start of your subscription and information such as the date and price of your first payment. The other email is to inform you of a recurring (automatic) payment that has been set up for the following month. Please note if you cancel your PayPal recurring (automatic) payment, your premium membership subscription will be cancelled simultaneously. In this case, we're unable to restore your premium membership. Subscriptions are non-refundable regardless.
