The Japanese e-mail kinix copied & pasted says at the end that details about purchasing the magazine will be posted "shortly" (dunno what that's supposed to mean though since it's been alot longer than "shortly" lol)... details haven't been announced yet AFAIK. :(

My membership renewed in mid-March so I'll be missing out on issue 49 unless they announce those details, haha.

But issue 47 is only just now coming out, I think, so once it's been distributed to everyone, details on how to get the magazine from the TA store should be announced. Hopefully.

Oh I see now, thank you again! you've been a great help.

btw I like GK AD, the podcasts? I'm a listener

Oh really? Awesome! GK is like my second child, haha :D Sorry it's on a bit of a hiatus right now, Jaylee hasn't had time to edit our last 2 or 3 episodes... :(

what have you used for tenso identity certification? it says that you need to give them some proof for your name, date of birth and address. but how to do that? scan of passport? but it's not include address.. sorry to ask about it here but can not find it anywhere :no thanks for your help already!

medical policy
it has my name and address, but no word in english %) I was ready to change it, so not worried that I need to show it to someone

Check with your national tax agency, at least in my country there is no problem getting official documents containing the information Tenso needs - I was even able to do it completely over the internet and I got the document in English as well. You might also be able to get documents from your bank or even the police, checking the official websites and searching for stuff like "proof of identity/residence/nationality etc." would probably be the easiest.

oh.. it's that easy! i guess i was too fast and googled myself to tensos page where they say how i can certificate myself and i did it with scan of my passport and phonebill :no now they're gonna copy my identity :no

As someone who's been using Tenso for 3 years now, don't worry :) This is to comply with laws that were passed about 2 years ago in Japan that require this sort of information for middleman services (it's to make sure we're not resellers selling things illegally in our countries, basically). Tenso do need this info because of how they operate - no one is going to steal your identity, promise. At least no one's stolen mine yet lol :)

thanks for your help you guys! they accepted my passport but they said that my address is different from what i have set on their page, wtf?? gonna try again with the same piece of paper
