I'm devastated! I was looking forward to using mine, but I tested the test sheet after seeing this video and almost every single fountain pen bled through. The link you provided appears to still work, but I am mostly concerned that it would likely take weeks to arrive. That little bit of OCD in me will not allow me to start this journal after the 1st. How long did it take to receive yours? For now, I'm going to see if I can just return it through Amazon, where I purchased it. Ugh!
Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that! I submitted my information on 7 Dec and received the replacement 23 Dec. My Plan B was to write my entries in a Hobonichi notepad while waiting for the replacement. I was surprised to receive it so soon. I hope yours get resolved soon.
@ thank you for the response! I was able to submit a return through Amazon. I’ll just wait until next year to get the 5-year journal. Plenty of other planners and journals to keep me busy. Thanks again for the video. You saved me from a very disappointing New Year’s Day.
I’m in Canada. And it didn’t take long to receive. I sent it back on January 3rd…and got the new one on January 13th. I just wrote on something else…and transferred to the new one. It was worth it for me!
@@carloschicho173 I bought an older one on EBay, but it was from Japan. It’s also still not here yet. 😄 It was a Japan edition. I don’t know if the ones written in English will be on eBay. Good luck.
If you haven't exchanged yours yet, here's the link they provided me: www.1101.com/store/techo/en/information/#452809. I don't know if that still works, but if it doesn't, sending them an email might help.

Is there a way to purchase the re-release directly? Thank you for this helpful video!
You’re quite welcome. Best thing to do is send them an email and ask. I hope it all works out for you!
I wonder where I can buy the new release..and make sure I don’t get an old one.
Perhaps send Hobonichi an email. Good luck on finding a good one! ♥️

I bought an older 2024, so I will have an extra space to use. 😄
Thanks, 🖊️

Did you have to return the box with the years printed on it too?
I believe not. The re-release comes in its own undated box.
