I hope this initiative will bear fruit! I was glad to hear that the Japanese Game Preservation Society has secured enough supporters to survive into next year, and maybe this program will provide them additional support. It seems that Japan's copyright laws are even more draconian than the US' in many ways, so it will be hard to effectively preserve works without reform.
