- Japanese firms I-O Data and Verbatim Japan strengthen partnership to continue Blu-ray drive and disc supply in Japan.
- Efforts include securing components, adjusting production, and developing new products tailored to user needs, such as backup, storage, and business use.
- I-O Data's BD Reco external Blu-ray drive for Windows, launched in February, received strong response for recording TV shows and anime.
- Companies plan to improve BD Reco and their Blu-ray lineup despite declining demand in some areas due to streaming and cloud storage.
- Blu-ray remains relevant for physical media like PlayStation 5 and Xbox games, offering comfort to anime fans in Japan who use recorders for personal libraries.
