the only thing i don't like is that you have to fill your phone with rakuten apps to use the service. in pay pay only one app. Rakuten should think carefully about this issue.

I use it all the time for cashless payments in Japan because it may have the most reach (but Pay Pay is coming up strong). I can use it in all convenience stores and some supermarkets. I get VAT/sales tax reduction paybacks and points too. I generally charge it with cash in convenience stores.
