Just for your information, there is new edition of the first textbook of Minna no nihongo. On Verasia it is written this (copy paste) :
Important!!!
This book is entirely in Japanese, but there is a separate book of translations and grammatical notes, which is not currently published. This book is scheduled to be translated into 15 languages, starting with English in November 2025 and Chinese and Vietnamese in February 2026. Other languages will follow soon.
Publisher's recommendation:
The Third Edition has almost the same grammar syllabus as the Second Edition, but the new vocabulary in each lesson is different from the Second Edition. For the time being, we will continue to sell the Second Edition, so we recommend that people use the Second Edition's supplementary materials with the Second Edition Main Text.
Compared to the second edition, the conversational scenes, vocabulary, and expressions have been revised to reflect current times. There are no major changes to the grammar programme or the structure of the individual lessons.

Was a third edition really necessary?
I remember there was a page on how to use a public telephone, learning how to say phone card, fax and cds. It was time for an update.
I hope it’s still got as much content about photocopiers.
