The offer: deadline and how much you save

Amazon Japan started a new promotion for its music streaming service on November 13: if you’ve never subscribed to Amazon Music Unlimited, your first 3 months cost ¥0. The usual free trial is 30 days, so this is three times as long. Sign up by Monday, January 11, 2027 (Coming of Age Day, a national holiday).

Even if you sign up on the last day, you still get the full 3 months. Heading home or traveling over the New Year holidays? Sign up before you leave and download music to your phone so you can listen on the way without using data.

Who qualifies and who doesn’t

What the page shows depends on your account. The surest way to check is to log in to Amazon and open the campaign page. If it says 最初の3か月0円 (“first 3 months ¥0”), you qualify. If you see a different message, you’re not eligible this time.

How to sign up (use Safari or Chrome on iPhone)

1. 1Open the campaign page in Safari or ChromeUse the button in this article. Either a computer or a phone works.
2. 2Log in to Amazon and check the pageYou qualify if you see 最初の3か月0円 (“first 3 months ¥0”) and 期間限定 1/11まで。(“limited time, until 1/11”).
3. 3Tap 今すぐ登録する (“Sign up now”)Your saved payment method appears. Confirm it and you’re done. You won’t be charged during the free period.

Where to start on an iPhone. Chart made by us.

On an iPhone, if you open the campaign page from the Amazon Shopping app, tapping 今すぐ登録する sends you to the Amazon Music app in the App Store instead of finishing sign-up on Amazon’s site. One user also saw a different monthly price inside the app. According to Amazon’s help pages, if you subscribe through Apple, cancellations and refunds go through Apple too. Open the page in Safari or Chrome and sign up on Amazon’s website, and you can check your renewal date and cancel without leaving Amazon.

Can you cancel right away and still get 3 months?

Yes. Even if you turn off auto-renewal on the day you sign up, you can still listen for the full 3 months. Amazon’s help pages say you can keep using the service until your plan ends after cancelling, and the campaign page itself says you can switch off auto-renewal at any time. In fact, someone who signed up on Nov 13 and cancelled right away saw “2027年2月13日に終了” (“ends February 13, 2027”) on screen.

Steps on Amazon’s website. Button names are shown as they appear on the Japanese site. Chart made by us.

If you have an Echo, you can also start the process by saying “Alexa, cancel my Amazon Music Unlimited subscription” (in Japanese: アレクサ、Amazon Music Unlimitedの会員登録をキャンセルして). If you plan to keep the service, there’s no need to cancel. If you’re not sure, cancelling on day one means you can use all 3 months without worrying about a charge.

The terms also say Amazon may charge you the value of the offer or take other action if you no longer meet the conditions because of a cancellation or a similar reason, or if it suspects fraud. Turning off auto-renewal itself is something the campaign page says you can do at any time.

Prime vs. Standard vs. Unlimited

Prime members can already stream more than 100 million songs through Amazon Music Prime at no extra cost, but playback is mostly shuffle, so you can’t simply pick the song you want. In February 2026, Amazon also launched Amazon Music Standard, which is Unlimited without the Audible perk.

This 3-month offer covers only the Unlimited individual monthly plan. Chart made by us.

Standard isn’t part of this offer. If you don’t listen to audiobooks, Standard costs less per month. Try Unlimited free for 3 months, see whether you actually used Audible, and then pick the plan to keep.

Without Prime, the monthly price after the free period is ¥100 higher. For everything Prime includes, from delivery to Prime Video, see our complete guide to Amazon Prime in Japan.

What to try during the free 3 months

The four features listed on the campaign page. Icons added by us.

1. Play exactly the song you want. This is the biggest difference from Prime. Build any playlist and skip as often as you like.
2. High-quality and spatial audio. HD and Ultra HD sound plus spatial audio such as Dolby Atmos are included at no extra cost, and spatial audio works with the earphones you already have.
3. One Audible title a month. It counts as one title regardless of length, so long novels or thick business books give you the most listening. Japanese audiobooks are also a handy way to practice listening.
4. Download before you travel. Offline playback keeps the music going on a plane or wherever the signal is weak.
5. Ask Alexa. With an Echo, just say a song or artist name.
