We observed the field of GRB 220514A (Fermi GBM team et al. GCN Circular
#32038, Biltzinger et al. GCN Circular #32039, Mereghetti et al. GCN
Circular #32041, Lipunov et al. GCN Circular #32042, de Wet et al. GCN
Circular #32044, Zheng et al. GCN Circular #32051, Bissaldi et al. GCN
Circular #32054, Yan et al. GCN Circular #32058) with the optical three
color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope
Akeno.

The observation with a series of 60 sec exposures started at 2022-05-14
12:25:15 UT(47 seconds after the Fermi/GBM trigger). We stacked the images
with good conditions. Here we report magnitudes by the forced-photometry at
the position of the optical afterglow (GCN Circulars # 32044, #32051,
#32058) and 5-sigma limits.

T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used the PS1 catalog for flux calibration. The magnitudes are expressed
in the AB system. The images were processed in real-time through the
MITSuME GPU reduction pipeline (Niwano et al. 2021, PASJ, Vol.73, Issue 1,
Pages 4-24; https://github.com/MNiwano/Eclaire).
