VPN

This method allows you to directly download Japanese apps from the Google Play store. You can also update apps as long as the Japanese Google account is linked to the device, but you aren't required to switch back to your Japanese account nor use VPN to update.

• Create a new account
• Change the country to Japan and connect through VPN
• Create a new Google account
  • You can skip adding payment methods and sync options.
  • You may need to add a phone number in the future, but the same phone number as your original Google account should still be okay.
  • If you plan on making purchases in any app, such as MikuColle itself, make sure your main account (where your payment information is stored) is above this account alphabetically. More information at the Shop page.
• Switch to the newly created account
• Search for either "mikucolle" or "ミクコレ" without the quotation marks
• Install the game
  • You don't need to open the app while still using the VPN.
• Turn off VPN once your done
