I looked into that as I listened to my playlist most of the time. And then I realize nano.RIPE after 10 years still unable to be purchased outside iTunes Japan or Japanese speaking websites.

You realized what? I don't understand

Uhmm it's pretty clear to me.

He says that after 10 years "nano.RIPE" music still cannot be purchased outside Japan.

I guess his point is that sadly that is not always a solution (outside piracy) as sometimes you cannot actually buy certain music, but I am guessing is actually available to be played on the streaming subscription service.

Oh, "nano.RIPE" is a name. I thought it was a spelling mistake.

I didn't know what nano.RIPE was and still don't really (maybe a musician or store), but I understand enough to know what he's saying now. I know not all music is available but quite a bit is (this was surprising to me). Maybe the outlying songs are left to pirating. That's a personal predicament.
