For those who want to register for prime video with Malaysian IP address, make sure don't register with amazon.jp, because can't change country/region to Malaysia. My friend did that and trying to figure out how to change country, because the only options are Japanese regions
I'm trying to help him, but I'm also confused looking at it since if he goes to amazon .com or .sg the settings page for changing countries doesn't even exists for his account
I don't think it's possible to change to Malaysia because we only have Prime Video available here, not the whole Amazon services. Your friend only solution is creating a new account.

I already have an amazon.com account from years ago so my account is fine, so I created a new one from the prime video website to test what my friend faced, seems like it automatically went to amazon.co.jp for login/registration and end up with message that primevideo needs a valid Malaysian address despite not being able to set the region to Malaysia, kinda obtuse for amazon to do this.
edit: ok my friend managed to subscribe but it's not straightforward
1. registered amazon.com account on desktop browser, make sure not registering on amazon.co.jp 2. on amazon.com, go to settings > account > digital content and devices > devices > look for preferences tab in devices page > update your country settings to a Malaysian address 3. login on primevideo app, subscribe using playstore (android) payment
for some reason tng payment is not available if look on the primevideo website, and it still stays it need valid malaysian address despite already set as Malaysia in amazon.com settings, pretty confusing if you're using the website instead of the app

Hideo Kojima says he "binged" new Netflix samurai show with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score: "It was so good"
Hideo Kojima is heaping praise on Netflix's Last Samurai Standing
"I binged Ikusagami (Last Samurai Standing) up through episode 6! It was so good. I love the Yamada Futaro × Squid Game kind of worldbuilding," Kojima states in a social media post that appears to have now been deleted. "The cutbacks between the Kodoku-game side, the organizers, and the government side all move with great pacing. And they don't hesitate to kill off well-drawn characters (with a stacked cast) either. The Tsubaki Sanjūrō-style directing moment made my heart skip."
Last Samurai Standing is based on the novel of the same name by Shogo Imamura. Set in the 16th century, it follows warrior swordsman Shujiro Saga as he enters a high stakes tournament with a life-changing prize awarded to the winner.
Netflix Japan's head of content, Kaata Sakamoto, describes Last Samurai Standing as "Shōgun meets Squid Game," and it's easy to see why. People killing each other in a game for money, rich people watching from the sides, a death tally that counts down how many competitors remain… Sound familiar? The first episode of Last Samurai Standing even introduces a Salesman-like character who introduces the rules of the game with a smarmy smile.
The wooden tag system also calls to mind Battle Royale, a classic 2000 film directed by Kinji Fukasaku that Squid Game was often compared to upon its initial release, making it easy to dismiss this show as just another imitator with historical Japanese window dressing à la Shōgun. Yet in Sakamoto's description of Last Samurai Standing, he also speaks of this story's specific setting, which actually takes place around two centuries after Shōgun.
