Open to all? Or just for Japanese residents?
I don't know. I am a Korean and I successfully ordered a domain with them.
BINGO
BONGO
lets play
And what's the transfer fee after 1 year? I'm betting it's more than 2 years at other registrars...
You don't pay the transfer fee to the old domain registrar. You pay to the new registrar.
where is renewal price mentioned for .com / .net?
1287, 1507 yen
About 10 USD
Maybe it's not a thing anymore, but at lot of registrars used to charge a fee to allow transfers out. I don't really keep up to date with DNS news, so maybe this isn't a thing any more, but in the old days a low first year fee was always a sign that you'd be locked in for extortionate prices later on.
You pay the fee to the new registrar.
I don’t think it’s allowed for your current registrar to charge you to get a transfer code. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure if it were the case a lot more would do it to avoid people from leaving (I.e making crazy prices to unlock the domain)
If a registrar ever attempts to charge you for a transfer code // to unlock your domain you should contact ICANN and report them
Total off-topic: @kdh, your face is so young :O I thought @yoursunny was the young looking, but damn!
It looks like the rules have changed since I last looked, but not in a very coherent way!

So they are allowed to charge you, but cannot prevent a transfer if you refuse to pay! But in the #8, it says if it is locked, they can refuse the transfer and they just have to provide "reasonable means" to unlock it... but says nothing about disallowing a charge for that. So, who knows... I'd play it safe and just assume if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
you cant pay.. none of the credit cards i have worked
It's true. I have the same problem and sent an email to support@ about 18 hours ago, got no reply yet.
Same, maybe you can only pay with Asian cards?

I'm told that the profile picture is part of my personal brand and I'm not supposed to change it often, so it remained.

You've got it backwards.
