The phone number box is left blank.

Hello,
I followed those instructions until I realize that I could not select "Japan" from the country list for my billing address. It simply does not show up!! I looked through the entire list (just in case it would be misplaced), with no success. What's happening???
I created a brand new Kobo account, but same result: "Japan" does not appear in the country list.
Same result when setting the billing address in "account parameters" or at purchase time (when no billing address is registered yet).
I emailed Kobo support about that, still waiting for an answer...
What am I missing here? Do I need to use a 楽天ID (japanese, not global) to unlock Japan?
Could it be a bug??? Any other explanation??
If anyone has any hint, or just some spare time to check this oddity on their own account (or test account), any feedback is welcome at this point.
Thanks in advance,
Max
PS: I also tried the rakuten.co.jp procedure, but my credit card is not accepted by the system. I am going for kobo.com, hoping that I could use the credit on my Kobo account without needing a credit card.
