As is apparently law in the Land of the Rising Sun, the Japanese iteration of the PlayStation 4’s store has launched amid a flash of pinks and pastel blues. Much like the system’s Eastern box art, the online plaza adopts a slightly more colourful guise in its native nation – perhaps partially fuelled by the availability of the free Dream Club: Host Girls on Stage, which you can download now.
Seeing as the console’s not technically due out until 22nd February, a lot of the content’s not available at the time of typing, but if you have an overseas account, you can login and have a look around. You can also claim a free three month PlayStation Plus trial for your troubles, which seems like a just reward for desperately trying to decipher a frighteningly convoluted foreign language.

Everything is better with a little Moe
I really want to play Dream Club, I wish Japanese games weren't so niche, us western fans always get shafted because of it.
Now that I've done my whining for the day; I love the look of the Japanese store, the colors are vivid and soothing.
I wish there was a way i could change the language to English on the Japan store But now i can use my Smart Phone to read Japanese thank god i.e take a photo on Google Translate from my phone & translate it;)
@BornOfEvil From what I understand, Dream Club is free to download. If you have a Japanese account, you should be good to go.
@BornOfEvil
Its the same vice-versa you know :S
@get2sammyb Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot about that.
Can you make a second account on the PS4 to get into the Japanese store like you can on the PS3?
@rastamadeus Yes do you have your original Japanese account you can use that too for your PS4 because mine work fine.
@GunstarHero234 So I can use it along with my main UK one? Or is it like the Vita and limits it to one account per machine? I seem to remember reading accounts are linked to pads so would I need a second pad for that? I should know all this really but I hardly pay attention :')
@Carl-G Hi there! How do you get to browse the japanese store? Are you using a proxy or VPN?
I'm a beginner japanese speaker, so I would love to add a some japanese games on my PS4 to play & practice japanese at the same time
