[Celebration: Passed] The Road to Amazon Associates. Beyond the phantom article I started writing just before my second 'rejection'.

Hello! This is Re:NISSAN from Re:Tech Japan. Thank you for always reading. Finally, the day has come when I can share this report! (Well, actually, I should have been able to report this a little sooner, but I'm late.)

Re:Tech Japan has officially been accepted into the Amazon Associates Program!

Please look at this image. It is a 'celebration' piece that Gemini once drew for me, and now, this scene has finally become a reality.

■ First, my heartfelt gratitude.

During my previous second attempt, I received so much support. Looking at the records, there were many people who purchased items with a warmth that felt like parental love, as if to say, 'Should I lend this guy a hand...?' Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart.

Actually, at that time, after receiving the rejection notice, I was so depressed that I even thought about giving up on trying again. It felt like my lack of ability had been pointed out, and I was on the verge of breaking down.

■ 'Running away would be disrespectful' — The obsessive rewrite of all articles

However, I suddenly reconsidered. So many people supported me; wouldn't it be too disrespectful to give up here? I couldn't let their support go to waste.

From there, I rewrote all my past articles to be 'Associate-friendly,' complying with the terms and conditions, and in a form that conveys more value to all of you readers. It was gritty work, but your support pushed me forward.

As a result, I was able to win this acceptance in a short period of just a few months since my re-challenge!

In particular, the third product (the system requires three products to be purchased within 180 days before you can even enter the review stage) was likely that article of that thing! (It seems like a change in specifications since 2026 made it impossible to know what was sold). And the one who bought it was that person who always leaves comments. Thank you so much. Well, however, I think this is just the beginning. I've realized that lately, when my main job gets busy, my updates tend to fall by the wayside.

■ The memory of frustration that started with a 'misunderstanding'

Actually, I'll confess. Until I passed this time, I was about to suffer a major 'embarrassment.' It was when I was challenging the second review. Something called an 'Associate Bar' appeared at the top, and 'referral fees' were even being added. When I asked GEMINI, 'Is this an Associate acceptance?', it told me that if that bar is showing, there is a high possibility that I have been accepted, so I was overjoyed and started writing an 'I passed' article.

Just as I was writing a relaxed piece saying, 'Well, that was surprisingly quick (laughs)'... what arrived was a cold 'rejection' notice.

I hurriedly closed the draft and looked up at the sky. That feeling of 'I've done it now' and the indescribable emptiness are now just a good memory (material for a story).

■ Why I was so fixated on Associates

The equipment and parts introduced on Re:Tech Japan are things that I, a self-proclaimed heavy Amazon user, purchased 'mostly with my own money' and installed and verified on my beloved car, Abe-san (Avenir).

I only introduce things I am convinced of, with reasons and evidence. Continuing that activity, and furthermore, as a driving force for 'a move to fulfill my next dream (a cafe and car shop where I don't even need to make a profit),' joining this Associate Program was a big step for me.

■ The future of Re:Tech Japan

Just because I passed doesn't mean my stance will change. I will continue to value my perspective as a DIYer, saying 'good things are good, and bad things are bad'.

I deleted that 'phantom acceptance article' that I left unfinished in the shock of my rejection back then as a memorial. This article, published today, is the genuine 'record of truth' that I won thanks to everyone's support.

I will continue to pay out of my own pocket, get my hands dirty, and share information that makes your car life just a little bit more enjoyable.

I look forward to your continued support (tee-hee).
