So I found out about this Ultraman movie while looking up on Wikipedia, and I'm curious as to why there's no re-releaseof it on any physical media. I know that it was made with two different companies involved (so obviously there's going to be licensing issues) but you would think that it would have been re-release on DVD and/or blu ray discs just like nearly all of the other Ultraman TV shows and movies. Does Tsuburaya productions even still have a copy of the film on hand? I'm concern that this might wind up becoming lost media in the long run. Yes there's a video of it on YouTube, but how long will it stay until YouTube randomly decides to take it down. This isn't just some random movie either, this is a film that's part of the Ultraman series, and Ultraman is a huge franchise in Japan, and no joke, Ultraman to Japan is like Superman to America, Japan takes Ultraman very seriously.
I personally hope that someone can get their hands on one of the dvds that has the Thailand and/or Japanese versions of the film and can rip it onto their computer and onto the internet and blu ray discs.

If anyone knows where to find the Thailand and Japanese versions of the film or knows anyone who might have them, please let me know so that we can have copies of the film on hand for ourselves.

Japan is often lethargic with rereleasing media like this. Godzilla Minus One is still not on streaming, for one
