iOS
- 1Create a new Apple ID with its region set to Japan. You don't need a Japanese address or phone number to create the account itself — only to add a payment method later.
- 2Sign into the App Store with that Apple ID.
- 3Search for and download the game from the Japanese store.
- 4To spend real money later, you'll need a Japan-region payment method — a Japanese iTunes gift card, bought online, is the common route.
Android
- 1Google Play's region locking is stricter than the App Store's, so most Android players sideload the APK directly instead.
- 2Download the APK from a source the community currently trusts, and install it manually (you'll need to allow installs from outside the Play Store).
- 3Purchases don't require a Japan-region account on Android, unlike iOS.
Before you play: you'll also need a Namco ID (Bandai Namco's account system) to actually play and to keep your progress if you switch devices — register one from inside the game after it launches.
The game keeps crashing — is that normal?
Deresute is known for instability on some devices, particularly during live performances with heavy 3D rendering. Two fixes cover most cases: close every other app running in the background before you launch a live, and switch the performance display to 2D mode in the settings, which is much lighter than the default 3D view.
