According to the IMDB trivia on [Satoshi Kon's Perfect
Blue](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156887/trivia):

> The film's original 35 mm camera negative was accidentally destroyed. As a
> result, all copies are sourced from lower-quality prints.

However I can't find any supporting source that this is true. Could someone
find the source of this information (probably in Japanese)?

Source for Perfect Blue's camera negative being destroyed


The closest source that exist on the internet is hearsay, according to an
internet user on a [forum post](https://forum.blu-
ray.com/showpost.php?p=16183038&postcount=262) on the
[topic](https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=303892&page=14) of the

All copies were sourced from telecine transfers (i.e. digital copies of the
film), which is why you see certain artifacts and overall decreased quality.
