The reason Blu-ray recorders never caught on and are disappearing is because of the inconvenience of not being able to transfer data from an external hard drive to another model. If the recorder you used to record on breaks down, all the data is gone. It's like a video tape that can only be played on the deck it was recorded on. And there's Dubbing 10. I think excessive copyright protection has destroyed the culture of recording and preserving video.

I understand that the discontinuation of BD recorder production is a sign of the times, but if that's the case, I wish they would make it possible to watch the recording HDD even if you plug it into another TV.
The current restrictions are just inconvenient.

too

I couldn't buy what I wanted at Wonder Festival! But I found something I wanted at the venue and was able to buy that instead!

too

I bought everything I wanted at Wonder Festival!

These are all emotions that only those who went to Wonder Festival, who were there in person, could experience. I think that's the most important thing.

Yesterday, in the midst of a cheerful exchange, the worst liar was mixed in. It's disgusting. A common feeling among dealers who are victims of resale. It's tiring to distrust people. https://t.co/YuIhTfuNww

At the first opinion exchange session for Wonder Festival after the change of hosting to Kaiyodo, I expressed my opinion from yesterday and said that it would be rude to the customers to participate with the same vibe as a school festival. Se〇m half-laughed and said, 'You know, it's fine to have the same vibe as a school festival at Wonder Festival. That vibe is what Wonder Festival is all about.' The representatives of each booth supported this, and I was laughed at by everyone. https://t.co/xmjFgEpApd

I think it's a great thing that the organizers of this year's Wonder Festival have taken measures to drastically reduce dealer dashes and early ticket sales.
-A person who went to ask a staff member, 'May I go to the toilet?' was asked to leave.
- A dealer who rearranged the line of customers at his booth was expelled.
It was too unreasonable. #WF2026W #WonderFest2026Winter

Since there are so many replies and reactions, I'd like to add a little more information (about myself).
・The black-suited staff member who warned me when I came to my table to arrange my items politely said, 'I fully understand that you have no malicious intent, but I have been told to do so by my superiors... I think I am being too strict.'
