Did anyone hear something about the GND digital filter premium feature? Was it a successful experiment in Japan? Enough to warrant international release?

Ok, I bit the bullet and tried to order. I used a VPN to connect to a japanese server, just in case.
You have to create an account to order. They ask you for a japanese address and you can only input kanji as your name. I entered all the infos of a forwarding inbox I have in Japan (tenso.com) and managed to create an account on Ricoh's japanese website. You're offered to pay in either 3 different ways: paypay (not a typo), credit card or coupon codes.
You need a japanese phone number to use paypay, so I tried to buy using my credit card.
Of course, the payment system triggered an error (obviously because the name and address on my credit card didn't match their infos).
tl;dr: no, you can't buy the GND feature without either a japanese phone number/paypay account or a credit card issued in japan, for now. |

Has anyone tried to buy the gnd feature outside of Japan? Could I try to buy if I use a VPN, or is their system blocking non-japanese credit card?
I bought a second-hand k-1 from a Japanese retailer, maybe I could give it a try later
