International and Official Store moved to Rooftop Store
From the Official Store if you click BUY or if you go to the International Store you are greeted with the following message:
3月29日(金)11時より、SCANDAL OFFICIAL WEBSHOP が ROOFTOP ONLINE STORE となってリニューアルしました。今後とも、どうぞよろしくおねがいします。
which according to Google translates to:
From Friday, March 29th at 11:00, SCANDAL OFFICIAL WEBSHOP has been renewed as ROOFTOP ONLINE STORE.We look forward to your continued business.
It has items from SCANDAL, SCANDAL MANIA, Feedback, and Rooftop. Everything appears to be in Japanese and all pricing is in Yen, which leads be to believe they probably don't ship outside of Japan.
Maybe someone who can read Japanese can find out?
According to u/Jasonictron there is an overseas option in checkout.

Nice. Thanks for the info.
You can use google translation to translate the pages on a computer. There’s a overseas option on the checkout. It's under the "Prefectures" tab.
Hmm, although it has that option, it says on the site's "Guide" page that they do NOT ship overseas ( 海外発送のお取扱いはございません = We do not handle overseas shipments).
I'm currently trying to find out what the truth actually is, so if I get an answer I'll post again in this thread.
Thanks. I love your website by the way
I would assume that means that the website delegates overseas shipping to another company.
Hm, that's really not a common thing for Japanese companies do. However, they have had a separate international store for years now specifically for their international fans, though it's been cleared out and has been like that for at least a couple of months at this point. I was wondering if the clearing out of the international store plus the finding of the "Overseas" option on the new webstore might mean that they are in fact going to start offering international shipping from the new webstore, but I don't think that's the case. They're probably still going to keep the domestic and international stores separate.
From what I have heard so far, it seems like that "Overseas" option on the new webstore was most likely a mistake on their end, so I wouldn't be surprised if that option is removed soon.
