### Spring Special Campaign Overview
As people reorganize their family homes and do spring cleaning in the new season, we are launching this special campaign to make it easier for everyone to digitize their precious memories.
* **Campaign Name:** Spring Special Campaign - Digitize Your Memories
* **Period:** April 6 (Mon) – April 26 (Sun), 2026
* **Details:** Regular price of 990 yen per tape is discounted to 898 yen (tax included).
* **Eligibility:** Limited to online applications (in-store applications are excluded).
### The 'Unplayable Risk' Accelerated by Discontinuation of VCRs and BD Recorders
The video equipment market has reached a major turning point, and the risk that past video assets will become unplayable is rapidly increasing due to four main factors:
1. **End of VCR Production and Lack of Repair Parts:** VHS VCRs, once ubiquitous, saw their final domestic manufacturer, Funai Electric, end production in July 2016. New units are unavailable, and repair parts are exhausted, making it difficult to fix broken decks.
2. **Shrinking BD Recorder Market and Manufacturer Exits:** Demand for Blu-ray recorders is shrinking due to streaming services. In January 2026, TVS REGZA announced the end of its 'REGZA Blu-ray' production, followed by Sony's announcement in February to end all model shipments. Currently, Panasonic is virtually the only company actively developing hardware.
3. **The External HDD Pairing Issue:** Many users record onto external HDDs, but these are often locked to the specific TV unit for copyright protection. If the TV breaks or is replaced, the data on the HDD becomes unplayable.
4. **The Looming '2025 Magnetic Tape Problem':** International organizations like UNESCO warn that magnetic tapes may become unplayable forever if not digitized by 2025 due to degradation. Tapes from the 1990s are already reaching their 20-30 year lifespan limit, and issues like mold or snapping are progressing.
