Pokedora Outside Japan?

[sugarteeth]

For the last few months, Pokedora (and Animate) have made it impossible to purchase from them without a Japanese credit card. I'm in the USA and have tried literally everything including Japanese gift cards etc., nothing works. Has anybody figured out a workaround for this? Or would anyone in Japan be willing to accept a PayPal payment to recharge my Animate account? Getting desperate over here! Thank you!
