In response to the feedback we have received from many creators, we will be abolishing the 1,000 yen cap on the standard program referral fee rate set out in the 'Associates Program Referral Fee Schedule' attached to the 'Amazon Associates Program Operating Terms and Conditions' (hereinafter the 'Referral Fee Schedule'), which sets out the 1,000 yen cap on the referral fee per sale of one product, and will change it to unlimited referral fee rate as of August 7, 2024.
Example 1) If you introduce a fashion accessory worth 50,000 yen and a qualified sale occurs: Your referral fee was 1,000 yen (maximum referral fee), but as of August 7, 2024, it will be changed to 4,000 yen (if the referral fee rate for the fashion accessory category is 8.00%).
Example 2) If you introduce a smartphone worth 180,000 yen and a qualified sale occurs: The referral fee was 1,000 yen (maximum referral fee), but from August 7, 2024, it will be changed to 3,600 yen (if the referral fee rate for the home appliance category is 2.00%).

The letter pointed out that the images and explanations shown as reference materials 'contain medical and scientific errors' and asked for the prefecture's board of education's opinion. However, the prefecture did not respond to the letter.
Today, I appeared in the studio for the first time in a while. I talked about how the criticism and comments about the contents and enactment process of the #GameOrdinance have caused the prefecture, assembly, and board of education to become overly defensive and not want to admit their own mistakes, creating a situation in which it is difficult to have open discussions or updates about the contents of the policy. https://t.co/mXKdYaDwx8 pic.twitter.com/WoHBfrO3kV
