Hi! It’s Sensei.
“After work, I’m bored with nothing to do in the dorm…”
“Netflix is expensive, and YouTube has so many ads, it’s annoying…”
For those of you, I (Sensei) will introduce Japan’s strongest service: “Amazon Prime (アマゾン プライム).”
This isn’t just a video site.
It’s a service made for trainees, combining “Unlimited Movies” + “Free Shipping on Shopping.”
Plus, you can use it for the first 30 days for Free (Muryo / 無料)!
Benefit 1: Unlimited Movies and Anime (Prime Video)
Once you become a member, you can watch movies and dramas as much as you want on your smartphone.
Of course, there are many popular titles from Southeast Asia too.
- Japanese Anime: “Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba)”, “Jujutsu Kaisen”, “ONE PIECE”, etc.
- Korean Dramas: There are plenty of K-Dramas too.
- Movies: You can watch both Hollywood and Japanese films.
If you download them using the dorm Wi-Fi, you can watch them even on the train without using up your mobile data.
Benefit 2: Amazon “Shipping Fees” become Zero!
This is the reason I (Sensei) recommend it the most.
When you buy heavy “Rice (Kome / 米)” or “Water (Mizu / 水)” on Amazon, normally the Shipping Fee (Soryo / 送料) costs about 400 yen, right?
Just by shopping twice a month, it pays for itself.
You don’t have to carry heavy luggage from the store, so your life becomes much easier.
How much is it?
You might think, “But it’s expensive, right?”
While Netflix costs about 800 to 1,500 yen a month, Amazon Prime is super cheap.
- Monthly (Getsugaku / 月額): 600 yen
- Yearly (Nengaku / 年額): 5,900 yen (Only 492 yen per month!)
For the price of one Starbucks coffee, you get unlimited movies and free shipping.
🎁 Try the “30-Day Free Trial” First
First-time users can try it for 30 days for 0 yen.
If you don’t like it, you can cancel before the 30 days are up, and it won’t cost you a single yen.
For registration, you can’t use “Convenience Store Payment,” but you can use “PayPay” or “Carrier Billing (Keitai Ryokin to issho ni shiharai / 携帯電話料金と一緒に支払い).”
Summary: Enjoy Dorm Life!
On days when you’re tired from work, relax in your room and watch anime.
With Amazon Prime, you’ll never be bored on your days off.
If you’re going to watch movies, you might want good earphones too, right?
