Guide to listen to the JP restricted songs on Spotify

Last Update: Dec 15, 2023

I delete the tricks to bypass local files on Spotify because it doesn't work anymore. I will still share Enstars songs as downloadable files as usual but you should try to use the tutorial below to change region and show off your Spotify listening status on Discord.

Follow all of these steps in order!

  1. Install any free VPN app on your phone (TunnelBear or ProtonVPN is recommended) and make an account
  2. Turn on the VPN until it's connected and set country to Japan
  3. Open browser (Chrome is recommended) with incognito tab
  4. Copy and run this link in the address bar https://accounts.spotify.com/en/login and login to your account
  5. You will be redirected to Spotify homepage and can't do anything there so you must copy and run this link in the address bar https://www.spotify.com/us/account/profile to go to the settings page
  6. The settings might be written in Japan, just scroll to the last form question with options and pick Japan
  7. You can close the incognito tab and then turn off/uninstall the VPN app if you want
  8. You will be logged out every 2 weeks. Repeat step 1-7 and then login to your account again

You can listen to the restricted songs on Spotify Desktop too, but I can't find free and safe Japan VPN for Windows/Mac so do the tricks above only from your phone. Same as in mobile, you will be logged out every 2 weeks, repeat the steps on your phone, and then login to your account again.

Notes:

  • If you have Spotify Premium, you can't change the region unfortunately
  • Some western songs might be unavailable due to the region set to Japan
  • You don't need to create a new Spotify account or anything, just use your current account

I hate ads!

I don't want to promote this but you aren't allowed to change the region if you have Spotify Premium because your account is permanently linked to your local payment method so this is the only available way to enjoy restricted songs. Please don't copy the trick on social media, just share this link so people will read it.

Android:
Use modded apk. This apk is working, I also use it. This is the backup link in case the website doesn't work for you. I assume you have known how to install apk so I won't explain here. Just a little reminder, uninstall the Spotify app that you downloaded from Playstore first before installing the modded apk.

iOS: TBA because I don't use iOS.

Windows: TBA

Macbook: TBA

Spotify playlists: Enstars | HeliosR | A3! | Dearvo

Downloads: Enstars (updated to Ryuseitai TRIP album) || Enstars Solos (BNS-OWO & 2024 New Year Solos)
HeliosR, A3!, and Dearvo are currently moving because I run out of storage. DM me on Discord if you want, I'll send the files you want.

Sign up to OneDrive with this invite link so I can get more storage space: Link

Feel free to copy my playlists but please share my guide so more people can listen to the songs!

If you have a question about this guide, just DM me on Discord @akiraotori or Twitter/X @nikiritsu
