But yes, you need to purchase prime in each country. I have all three.
There is a big bug in prime video, after adding Australia I lost access to all my channels, eg, Starz, AMC+, etc, it didn't seem to support different countries. And changing you default country won't fix it.
Yes this is a problem -- and my wife and I have just accepted it and use two separate accounts -- one for Japan and one for the USA. Amazon in Japan is so far superior to the US it's not even funny -- but living in NYC we have it pretty good -- nearly 100% of our orders are delivered by the next morning -- in varying conditions however....
Given the recent exchange rate my wife has been on a spending spree in Tokyo -- I'm glad I'm coming home in a few weeks to end the "but it's 40% off right now" binging in Ginza and Omotesando....
