Price increases in the Japanese AppStore?

so I thought I should let the TA people know, it looks like the Japanese AppStore has increased the prices for their apps. I just attempted to buy a couple of games through the links on the TA App at ¥300, only to have the prices display a ¥360 tag instead.
If anyone else can double check this, that'd be awesome. Wierd effing price shift though.

Edit: So this confirms it

"Apple has announced that it will raise prices on the Japanese App Store within 24 hours due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.

---
Within 24 hours, prices on the Japanese App Store will increase in response to changes in foreign exchange rates. Active subscriptions won’t be interrupted. We’ll send an email to notify current subscribers that their subscription will be renewed at the new increased price from now on.

Price adjustments on the App Store are sometimes necessary as foreign exchange rates rise and fall. You’ll see the new Pricing Matrix in the Pricing section of My Apps as soon as the new prices take effect.

Currently, a 0.99USD app costs 100JPY. We'll let you know what Apple adjusts its pricing to. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or RSS for updates."

You live here too Shaun?

I thought it odd that you got to go to Square Enix

 

Pretty much just the Japanese AppStore for me. I have an old Canadian account from when I lived there for a year, so whenever there's a soft launch or a freebie, I switch over.

 

Likewise. Though not so much in the way of roots yet. Been here for almost 4 years. Not going any where. Got myself a nice gaming column too.

 

I'm in Kawasaki, on the Odakyu line.

As for my column, not sure if it's cool to say here. Don't want to get told off for cross promotion or something as I work with mostly iOS stuff too.

 

Well alright then. I write for Japan Today. My segment is called Commuter Gamer. You can find it in the Tokyo Insight magazine on the Newstand app for iOS.
