8. Price Notation and Currency Conversions

Because all prices, fares, and costs shown on this Site and our YouTube channel are based on the time of the research, they may not be the most up-to-date and are subject to change without notice.

In addition, in some cases, we may post the cheapest or typical prices, not the prices we have actually paid.

The amounts denominated in various currencies are mainly converted mechanically using an automatic exchange calculation tool for the reference purposes only. Therefore, there may be differences or errors between these amounts and the actual amounts in denominated in each currency.

Regarding exchange rates, the average of the mid-market rate (TTM) for a specific period of time is basically used, so there may be a deviation between these exchange rates and the latest spot transaction rate.

In exceptional cases, currencies whose values have fluctuated significantly during a specific period of time may be converted by individual calculation separately, or may be converted using unofficial rates rather than official rates. In such cases, the basis for adopting the exchange rate used may not be consistent across currencies.

Regarding the choice of currencies, due to the limited space on the screen, we make a comprehensive judgment based on the ranking of transaction settlement balances and the countries/regions to which the viewers of our YouTube channel belong, with a focus on the global key currencies.

Therefore, we cannot accept individual requests, but the choice may be changed at any time.

In the event of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the Japanese original text and any text translated into a language other than Japanese, the content, wording, meaning, intent, expression, and context of the Japanese version shall always prevail.

Regarding the choice of languages, due to the limited number of languages provided by translation tools and our time constraints, we make a comprehensive judgment based on the ranking of the number of speakers of the world's major languages, as well as the countries and regions to which the viewers of our YouTube channel belong.

Therefore, we cannot accept individual requests, but the choice may be changed at any time.

If you find any unnatural or incorrect translations, please see the original Japanese (or English) version or contact us.
