Tough request: Japan VPS
Requirement:
- CPU: 2-3 Cores of E3 level
- HDD: SSD-Cached high iops, ≥150GB
- MEM: ≥2GB
- BW: ≥100mbps port, ≥8TB/month or unmetered
- VM: Prefer not OpenVZ unless really good deal
- Price: ≤$30 month-to-month and accept non-Japan issued credit card
- Must be located in Japan and have a reasonably fast speed to China HK TW etc. Asia region.
- Tolerate potential copyright problems. We honor copyright disputes on user uploaded materials and will remove them upon reported.
What I have tried or checked:
- Linode. No rooms for upgrading plans. Constantly hardware issue and inbound DDoS attacks.
- Vultr. Insufficient bandwidth.
- Kagoya. We are currently using their service. IOps is fantastic, CPU is fast. But It's OpenVZ and their tiny
tcpsndbuf
causes constantly stalled networking and crashing. - Conoha. Poor hard drive performance and unstable peering to China.
- SakuraJP. Only accept Japan issued CC.
- Cloudcore. Asking 3 months minimum contract, high setup fee, much more expensive if not paid yearly.
Any suggestions?

Not Japan but China
You've really exhausted the providers in that area... Let me check my list.

Running a forum in China without having a registered company is technically illegal.
Ablenet?
@msg7086
You listed pretty much all of them, just forgot Ablenet, Dream.jp and SPPD. But:
having done a lot of searching for servers in japan I can tell you for sure you simply wont find what your looking for even if you double that budget unless you make some compromise.
that said if you do find it let me know I will order 2

Standard HDD sadly. Unlimited BW 200GB HDD 2GB RAM 3CPU
Don't know if it is E3 grade close as you're going to get to $30
^ see post above
OpenVZ?
I know mis-read the site
Oh and there's also GMO VPS (where the StarryDNS Shibuya test IP points to). But it's basically a more outdated and more expensive version of what Conoha (their child company) offers.
More regarding StarryDNS, it looks like for "Shibuya" they are reselling GMO, and for the rest of the JP locations reselling Sakura. Which can be interesting at least, as you can't buy Sakura directly.
Thanks for that list. A quick search on unixbench ablenet gives me 826 which is even worse than the single core score of kagoya (1c 872/6c 2664). DreamJP is OpenVZ and SPPD seems to be worse.
So running out of the list

They seem to be just reselling Conoha at 2x markup.
Non-SSD plans (first four) are fully identical with Conoha, SSD ones are probably from someplace else.
