Q: Why can't I purchase music from another country without switching stores?

Hello, I was interested in buying this album from the Itunes Store when I saw that they had it: https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/sherunosaju-shiwareta-xinghe/id919431336 I can't really find music from this game easily, as it's a very niche import game so I was excited to find out that the Itunes Store had the albums I was looking for. However, while I could access the Japanese Itunes store from Itunes no problem, it wouldn't take the Paypal account I had on file with this account. This account is an American Itunes account but Paypal does Yen to USD conversion, as I've used it in several stores before, so it doesn't make sense that Itunes wouldn't be able to do so just as easily if it was Paypal and not just a regular credit card. Can someone explain why this isn't possible as I would very much like to give you the money for these albums but can't. It just seems arbitrary to me, music is music and as long as I have the money why would Apple care either way?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.4
