SoftBank will exclusively offer a fully integrated Netflix experience, including billing, when Netflix Japan launches on September 2.

Through the partnership, SoftBank customers will be able to sign up for Netflix at SoftBank Shops and major electronics retailers.

They can also signup via the SoftBank website and via SoftBank call centers without filling out payment information, with Netflix’s monthly fee added to their bill.

In addition, SoftBank will begin pre-installing the Netflix app on its smartphones for sale after October 2015.

Netflix also announced monthly pricing (pre-tax) for the Japanese market — 650 yen (about $5.40) for Basic Plan with single-stream standard definition; 950 yen ($7.80) for Standard Plan with two-stream high definition; and 1,450 yen ($12) for Premium Plan with four-stream 4K ultra-high definition.
