Whether you are an international fan or in Japan for their debut, there are many ways to support B.A.P!

1.) Buy the "Warrior" & "One Shot" Singles

Physical single & Oricon Chart: This is Japan's major music chart, and the first week of sales is THE most important for getting an album/single to number 1. International fans can buy the "Warrior" single from these stores, pre-order from them now if you haven't yet!

Warrior Singles

Digital single & iTunes Japan: Japan has many music download sites but mostly for Japanese mobile users that record their own digital sales. International fans can purchase digital copies of "Warrior" from iTunes.

** Tutorial on how to change your store to iTunes store & How to buy "Warrior" from the Japan iTunes Store

**Another way to change your iTunes store: Make a new account (see the above tutorial for info on getting the pre-paid card)

Another way of using the pre-paid card is by creating a new account for Japan iTunes store. Just sign out of iTunes and then choose to download a free app from the store. This will prompt you to create a new account. Since it is for a free download, the store gives you the option not to provide a payment form. Just proceed with the sign up using a Japanese address (I use a Japan hotel address & phone number which I googled). With this method, you do not need to worry about not being able to change your store location due to unspent pre-paid card amt. It also leaves your original account untouched.

Thanks to a very kind Baby for the info!

Digital Single/Ringtones & Dwango: for mobile users in Japan, you can download B.A.P songs and ringtones from dwango.jp. You will have to make an account with the site which will charge you a fee each month, depending on how many "point" you want for music purchases a month.

NOTE on Digital single: Other than iTunes Japan, there are not many places to download the Japanese version of Warrior for International fans. Dwango and similar music download sites cater mostly to Japanese mobile users.

2.) Request B.A.P on Japanese TV Shows

** Tutorial for requesting B.A.P on Japanese TV Shows

Jongup said his goal for their Japan debut was to appear on variety shows! Let's make it happen Babyz! B.A.P will and already has appeared on Japanese K-pop shows/channels, but we want them on shows that appeal to larger audiences so they can get more new fans!

Here are some shows and how to send your request for them to invite B.A.P, we will add more shows in the future, but for now Baby can focus on this short list. You can tweet them/use their request forms as many times and as often as you can!

How to Request B.A.P 
1.) Submit the request form on their homepage
TV shows usually have a "Guest Request" or "Feedback" form where viewers can ask the program to have a certain guest on their show. Each show has it's own tutorial below for the request forms, you can copy and paste the Japanese text below, which introduces and asks the show to have B.A.P as guests.

今年10月に日本デビューする期待の新人KPOPグループB.A.P(ビーエーピ）！2012年に韓国でデビューし、その年の音楽祭で新人賞を総ナメにし、その他にも合わせて13つもの賞を受賞しました。2013年には韓国、アメリカ、日本、台湾、香港、シンガポールで初の海外ツアーを成功させるなどすでに世界から注目を集めています。5月に行われた初の日本でのソロコンサートはあまりの人気にチケットは即完売し急遽追加公演を決めたほどか、日本での人気の高さも証明してみせました。期待の新人KPOPグループの日本デビューを、番組で取り上げて下さい！！

2.) Tweet the show
You can also tweet these shows. Copy and paste the Japanese text below and tweet it to the shows' twitter. See our list on twitter to easily send it to all the shows listed!
