Since I don't want to lose my purchases, I need them to migrate my IDs. 
Hmm, so if I'm staying abroad, I can't buy Japanese ebooks even if I have Rakuten membership and valid address.
That would have been very frustrating when I was living in Singapore. |
You would need to use a VPN with a Japanese ip address. I guess it depends how important it is to you to get the books vs the cost of the VPN... They can be subscribed to pretty cheap.
Concerning your email: can't you use a second one to open a separate account? That would allow you to keep your US purchases on the original one.
