(Hope this is the right sub to post this in, my apologies if it's not!)
So a while ago I made a Japanese google account in order to download region locked apps that weren't games, and after a lot of work I managed to succeed.
However just a couple days ago I got an email saying that my location for the account will be changed from Japan to America (where I am) and I suspect that is happening because I didn't use a vpn when accessing the app store after I made the account.
Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? Or am I going to be stuck making another account.
Or if there's another way to get Japanese app store apps without making a new account (for context I'm on android)

Fucking Google.Â
I think you need a legitimate mailing address in a given region. They let me keep my alt account in the US because I have a legit mailing address there.
And fucking lucky I am about that. I visited the US last year and the only car I could rent at the last minute was electric. I discovered that charging stations only let you charge and pay via app. And even though I was in the US and needed the frigging app to drive the damn car, I wasnt allowed install the US-only app because my account was fucking regioned to Japan.
Any way they can fuck over a user or another company they will do it
