What should I do if the "address" is blank on the Amazon receipt?

Receipts issued by Amazon have a blank "address" field. Even if you want to print with your company name or your name on it, you can't do that on the Amazon.co.jp site. Amazon's help page on receipts states:

Although this format is valid as a receipt even if the fields are left blank, Amazon's view is that if the company's expense reimbursement rules absolutely require the address to be entered, you can fill it out yourself. Strictly speaking, writing your own address on receipts can be fraudulent, so if you're unsure, consult your company's accounting department or an expert.

There shouldn't be any particular problems in terms of taxation and accounting, but if you are concerned about the company's strict checks, it would be a good idea to save the PDF when it is first issued.
