Although there are not many Blu-ray released in 2022, the number of works of the movie was the highest ever released titles such as director's collection type box sets, short lines collection, and TV series box sets.

It's a real feeling to see how much time and trouble they spent in helping our team members to handle all of this, and how much time and concern they spent in the production, and putting the finished products together in one place. Because physical media is ultimately going from hand to hand to hand and passed through the hands of the viewer.

In addition, if the one work I was waiting for didn't come out, I also think this year's Plain Archive would have ended up disappointing someone.

I will try again and again in the new year to provide you with the news with quality Blu-ray that will not be worth the wait.

It's been a year of concern about the sustainability of physical media that contains movies, but in 2023 we will try to do our best that we can.

"The most beautiful way to preserve movies, Plain Archive"
