I actually just double-checked, and I do have my phone number tied to “residential address” or whatever the term is that Amazon uses for the main Japanese address for digital purchases. I don’t remember adding one, but I also set this up a long time ago, so forgetting that I did so would be pretty on-brand for my memory. If you don’t have your (actual) phone number tied to that address, that might be the source of the issue. Other than that, I’m afraid I’m also out of ideas, and hopefully somebody else who has actually had the issue can help you out!

just checked too since i was trying to edit the address and i always had my actual phone number so I don’t think that’s the issue…

Oh just another idea: You might want to call your bank and check back with them… I just remembered that my card got blocked a few times when I started a new behavior, like buying stuff in a different country… Nowadays banks run a gazillion sanity checks against your transactions for fraud prevention purposes. I find it to be very effective (saved me a number of times with my old card) but it can be annoying when you’re trying to get a legit payment through… Good luck!

thanks! I’ll definitely try that since at this point it’s the last thing left to do

On page 15, regarding カ所 isn’t the “relevant meaning for the context”: counter for places instead of “place; area”?

If you mean vocab spreadsheet, feel free to edit (it was not my entry, but in general, if you notice a typo and confident, just fix it).

Well, that wasn’t nearly as much of a struggle as I expected. Jisho’s drawing function helps a lot for the kanji I don’t know
The way I read it it’s counting places he smashed up, so yes, I’d say so.

So, if you all hate it, feel free to undo it, but I went ahead and added the “alternating colors” formatting to the vocabulary sheet.
I find it’s generally a little easier on the eyes to read when every other line alternates colors, and makes it a little bit easier to “find your place,” so to speak, when looking back and forth between the sheet and the book. It also had the side-effect of removing the color from the cells that were filled in on the page column; if there was a purpose to that, I apologize!

On page 24, what is the meaning of 一本一本?
I took the rest of the sentence to be about the quality of the knife being high quality, like craftsman quality.

My interpretation is that 本 is being used as a counter for knives. 一本一本 would be “one by one” (the knives) are made carefully by artisans.

That’s my interpretation as well. The sentence continues in the next bubble - こちらの包丁職人が一本一本丁寧に仕上げておりまして (and he’s interrupted there). He’s describing experts carefully putting the finishing touches on the knives one by one.
