People are currently reading this guide.

Want to dive into the vibrant world of Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku in its original Japanese glory on your iPad? You've come to the right place! While the global version is readily available, the Japanese version often gets updates and events first, offering a truly authentic experience. This comprehensive guide will walk you through each step, ensuring you can enjoy all the Japanese vocaloid goodness on your iPad.

Step 1: Are You Ready to Transform Your iPad Experience?

Before we begin, let's get you set up for success! To download JP PJSK on your iPad, the primary method involves accessing the Japanese App Store. This means you'll need a Japanese Apple ID. Don't worry, it's not as daunting as it sounds, and you won't lose any data from your existing Apple ID. It's simply about creating a separate account for a different region.

  • What you'll need:
    • An iPad with an internet connection.
    • A valid email address not currently associated with an Apple ID (especially if you plan to create a new Japanese Apple ID from scratch).
    • A Japanese address and phone number (don't worry, we'll cover how to find one!).

Step 2: Forging Your Japanese Apple ID

This is the most crucial step! You have two main options: changing the region of your existing Apple ID or creating a brand new Japanese Apple ID. For simplicity and to avoid potential issues with subscriptions or purchases on your primary account, creating a new Japanese Apple ID is highly recommended.

Sub-heading 2.1: Creating a Brand New Japanese Apple ID (Recommended)

This method ensures your existing Apple ID remains untouched.

  1. Head to the Apple ID Creation Page: Open your web browser on your iPad (or a computer) and go to the official Apple ID creation page. You can usually find this by searching "create Apple ID" on Google.
  2. Start Filling in Your Details:
    • Country/Region: This is paramount! Select Japan from the dropdown menu.
    • Name & Birthday: Enter any name and a birth date that makes you at least 18 years old in the current year.
    • Email Address: Use an email address that is not already linked to an Apple ID. This is very important. You can create a new throwaway email if needed.
    • Password: Choose a strong password and confirm it.
    • Phone Number: Enter a phone number you have access to, even if it's your current non-Japanese number. Apple will send a verification code here. Select the correct country code for your number.
    • Security Questions: Set up three security questions and answers. Make sure to remember them!
    • CAPTCHA: Complete the CAPTCHA to prove you're not a robot.
  3. Verify Your Email and Phone Number: Apple will send verification codes to both the email address and phone number you provided. Enter these codes on the Apple ID creation page to complete the verification process.
  4. Review and Agree to Terms: Read through the terms and conditions and agree to them.

Sub-heading 2.2: Locating a Japanese Address and Phone Number (for setup)

When you first sign into the Japanese App Store with your new Apple ID, or when reviewing the account, you'll be asked for billing information, even if you select "None" for payment. This is where a Japanese address and phone number come in.

  • Finding a Japanese Address: You don't need a real residential address!
    • Open Google Maps or search for a famous landmark, hotel, or even a McDonald's in a major Japanese city like Tokyo or Osaka.
    • For example: Search for "Lawson Tokyo" on Google Maps. Click on a specific location, and you'll often see the full address, including the postal code (zip code) and phone number.
    • Copy down a valid Japanese address, including:
      • Street Address: (e.g., 1-1-1 Marunouchi)
      • City: (e.g., Chiyoda-ku)
      • Prefecture: (e.g., Tokyo)
      • Postal Code: (e.g., 100-8994)
  • Japanese Phone Number: You can often use a generic dummy number here, as it doesn't need to be verified at this stage. Something like 03-1234-5678 (a common Tokyo prefix followed by random digits) often works, or use one you find with the address.

Step 3: Switching to the Japanese App Store

Now that you have your Japanese Apple ID, it's time to access the Japanese App Store!

  1. Open the App Store on your iPad.
  2. Tap your Profile Picture: In the top-right corner of the App Store, you'll see your current Apple ID profile picture (or a generic icon). Tap on it.
  3. Sign Out of Your Current Apple ID: Scroll down to the very bottom of the account page and tap on ***"Sign Out"***. This will log you out of your current Apple ID.
  4. Sign In with Your New Japanese Apple ID:
    • After signing out, the profile picture area will show "Sign In". Tap on it.
    • Enter the email address and password for the Japanese Apple ID you just created.
    • Tap ***"Sign In"***.
  5. Review Your Account Information (First Time Sign-in):
    • You might see a pop-up saying, "This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store." Tap ***"Review"***.
    • Agree to the Terms and Conditions: Make sure "Japan" is selected as the country. Read and agree to the terms.
    • Payment Method: Select ***"None"***. This is crucial if you don't have a Japanese credit card.
    • Billing Address: This is where you enter the Japanese address and phone number you found in Step 2.2. Fill out all the required fields (Street, City, Prefecture, Postal Code, Phone Number).
    • Tap "Next" in the top right corner.
    • Once you've successfully reviewed and confirmed your details, you will be redirected to the Japanese App Store! You'll notice the language change and different featured apps.

Step 4: Downloading Project Sekai: Colorful Stage!

You're almost there! Now that you're in the Japanese App Store, finding and downloading the game is straightforward.

  1. Search for the Game: In the Japanese App Store, tap the "Search" tab at the bottom.
    • The best way to search is using its Japanese name: プロジェクトセカイ カラフルステージ! feat. 初音ミク
    • You can also try a shorter version: プロセカ (Puroseka)
    • Avoid using the English romanized name like "Project Sekai" as it might not yield the correct results or might show the global version if it happens to be listed.
  2. Identify the Correct Game: Look for the app with the familiar Hatsune Miku and Ichika Hoshino icon. The developer should be SEGA CORPORATION.
  3. Tap "Get" (入手): Once you've found the game, tap the "入手" (Get) button next to it.
  4. Install: Your iPad will ask for your Japanese Apple ID password or Face ID/Touch ID to confirm the download. Once confirmed, the download will begin.
  5. Wait for Download and Installation: Project Sekai is a large game, so it might take some time to download depending on your internet speed. Once downloaded, it will automatically install.

Step 5: Launching and Playing JP PJSK

Congratulations! You've successfully downloaded JP PJSK.

  1. Find the Game Icon: Once installed, you'll see the Project Sekai icon on your iPad's home screen.
  2. Launch the Game: Tap the icon to open the game.
  3. Initial Downloads: The game will likely have additional in-game data to download. This can be quite substantial, so ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection and sufficient storage space.
  4. Enjoy! Once all data is downloaded, you'll be able to play Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! in its Japanese glory!

Step 6: Switching Back (Optional, but Recommended)

You don't need to stay logged into your Japanese Apple ID to play JP PJSK after it's installed.

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. Tap your Japanese Apple ID Profile Picture in the top-right corner.
  3. Scroll down and tap "Sign Out".
  4. Sign back in with your original Apple ID.

You can now use your regular App Store. When JP PJSK has an update, you'll simply need to switch back to your Japanese Apple ID in the App Store to download the update, and then you can switch back again.
