How do you get Album Artwork with iTunes if the desired album is only avaliable in another countrys store?

I have a few albums that were only released in Japan, I ended up getting the actual CD's imported and ripping them myself. Since I do not have a Credit Card that is valid in Japan, is there any way to get Album Artwork with iTunes?

Yes I know it is easy to find artwork on the internet and inmport it into your library, but these albums tend to be very hard to find high qulity artwork without artifacts, and all images tend to be under 100x100 pixles each. So i'd just kinda like to know if it is possible to get artwork without having a credit card that would work in the store I need.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

You first need a Japanese Apple I.D. Google how to do get one and there should be plenty of tutorials for you needs. After that, log in to the iTunes Store on your computer with your new Japanese Apple I.D. Before you go to your library, check that all album information matches the iTunes Store version. Then go to your desired album, right click, and click on "Get Album Artwork." If everything works out well, you should have a clear, high-res, album artwork!
