This contradicts the the store's message and seems to follow the japanese release date. So which date is true?

The JP release date is 8/15.

It's gonna take the SE store roughly around two weeks to get the stock they need to this side of the globe, so a Sept. 1st release date isn't all that different from if you're directly importing.

There's not really a contradiction since Soken is talking about the JP release, and not the NA or EU.
