Looks like a japan only model. I should have known by the name, Let's _____ is a really common Japanese product trope. You should try "Let's Corn!" sometime. Its uhhh, japanese.

How do you suggest getting one of these things or getting support for it? I'm not against foreign market hardware but they can be a real pain in the ass for many. Last japanese laptop I had was almost 20 years ago, an ultraportable Sony. It was interesting but finding drivers online back then was a challenge.

Let's note sold in Japan only offers Japanese keyboard layout, this may be a top problem.

It seems that US keyboard model is sold as "Asia Model", but sold only for corporate. Hopefully you can find used one. Possibly it's also available in asian marketplace. https://biz.panasonic.com/jp-ja/products-services/letsnote/l...
