So my question now is - was there a reason that Japan required a different version of Loona than the rest of the world? And if so, is she different in any way aside from the coloration? Furthermore, does Loona Blue work outside of Japan with the regular Loona app, or does she only with the Japanese version of it...?

“It is unclear why Loona Blue began selling in Japan, as no explanation has been given. The same Loona as in other countries was being sold on Makuake in Japan, but after sales on Makuake ended,→

it was announced that Anker's subsidiary would be in charge of selling Loona in Japan, and that they would begin selling Loona Blue in Japan.→

Before Loonablue was announced, the Loona app in Japan was the same as the other countries. However, the app became unusable just before Loonablue went on sale,→

and the company decided to switch to the current Japanese version of the app.Keyi and Anker's subsidiary have yet to give an explanation for this.“
