Go to FamilyMart to buy a virtual currency

At the daytime of today, I went to FamilyMart to buy electronic money "Web money" to charge a AmebaPigg's virtual currency.

Web money is one of the Japanese main electronic money. Anyone can easily buy it in a convenience store. (Prepaid cards don't spread for some reason in Japan. Why?)


By the way, the neighbor of FamilyMart is a Cyber agent(Companies operating AmebaPigg).


This is "Fami Port". The purchase of various tickets, the payment of public utilities charges, the EC settlement and the purchase of various electronic money are possible.


Choose "Web money" on a screen.


Next, choose the purchased amount. I bought it for 2,000 yen.


Then, receipt comes out.


Take this to a cash register and make a payment.


Then a salesclerk outputs such paper. A cord for realization is written in this.


And, access mypage of the Web money's site.


Click "入金(charge)".


Input a realization cord.


Next, access Ameba's mypage. Realize Web money in Ameba's virtual currency "Ame gold".


Choose the amount of realization.


Realization completion!

The rate,

100 yen=100 Ame gold.

(100 yen= about 1USD, 0.88EUR, 7.46CN)


Log in to AmebaPigg. There is AmebaPigg's live Show area "Pigg Dome".


I bought this T-shirt. This is "ticket T-shirt" of Show. The price was 300 Ame gold. This is expensive for the price of the T-shirt. But cheap for the price of the ticket.

AmebaPigg holds the live music event of the artist for the first time on June 25.
