Apparently getting a BD release in the US from a new label calling themselves Toy Robot Video.
Yes, it's been confirmed as an Arrow sub-label. The releases will be US and UK for the most part.

June - July Toei Channel highlights

60s Action and Crime
Secret Information (密告) (1968). Dir. Masaharu Segawa. Cast: Noboru Ando. Superb neo noir influenced by Point Blank and Melville. HD Premiere on Toei Channel in Jun. 2026.

Pinky Violence and Eros
Girl in College (マル秘女子大生 妊娠中絶) (1969). Dir. Michio Konishi. Cast: Yukie Kagawa, Masumi Tachibana, Tatsuo Umemiya. HD Premiere on Toei Channel in Jul. 2026.
Evil Charms (色魔狼) (1973). Dir. Yasuo Furuhata. Cast: Tatsuo Umemiya, Tetsuro Tamba, Yayoi Watanabe. HD Premiere on Toei Channel in Jul. 2026.

70s Action and Crime
Capone’s Younger Brother: Heart and Speculation (カポネの舎弟 やまと魂) (1971). Dir. Takashi Harada. Cast: Tomisaburo Wakayama. HD Premiere on Toei Channel in Jul. 2026.

I'm beyond happy. I've been kicking myself since I missed a 35mm screening of Evil Charms years ago. And I've been wanting to see Girl in College since forever. This is the first time it's ever been aired on TV, and likely the first time it's been available for viewing in over 50 years.

Also can't believe this year I'm getting at least four films closer to my life goal of seeing every 70s Toei film, following Fear of Sex and Flower Cards Gambling Diary: Duel to the Death of the Best Three on TV earlier this year, and Seishun toruko nikki: Shojo suberi in 35mm a few months ago.
