Keyboard Cover for Japanese Layout Keyboard

I am aware of Apple's stance regarding keyboard covers.

I recently purchased the MacBook Air (A2681) with the keyboard configured to Japanese layout. I live in the United States.

I have been unsuccessful in my search. Every single Japanese keyboard cover sold on Bezos's site is just merely for the American English keyboard with hiragana printed on the keys.

Does anyone know of any site (does not necessarily have to be from aforementioned site) where I can find what I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.2

Thanks for the clarification, I understand now. Try a google search for "Mac JIS keyboard cover" or something similar. JIS is the term for that shape of keyboard. Here is one result

Apple"s "stance" on keyboard covers is there for a reason. These covers could cause damage to your computer. You have not provided any rational for needing a keyboard cover. My recommendation, although not specifically asked for, is to heed Apple's advice regarding keyboard covers.

I can't tell from your response whether you're trying to offer help or if you are being a snidely troll. I'm going to assume the former and just say that I wanted a keyboard cover to actually cover the keyboard. I would prefer the cover to have NOTHING printed on it (i.e., clear silicone). You have a site you can refer me to?
