A young man who has just come of age is passionate about researching the rights of retro games. What is behind his enthusiasm?

So, this might be an unusual post. The link above should take you to a Google Translated interview (originally in Japanese) with Yoshihiro Koyama, a young man who is trying to track down the rights-holders of old arcade games. He's focusing especially on shmups.

The interview came up in my RSS feeds and I tried to find a human-translated version of the article, but I struck out. And I can't read Japanese, myself. But I think this is interesting, important work, so hopefully this machine translation will suffice for now.
