Japanese Documentary film about pachinko by NHK

[Supersaiyan]

This might be old here but I just found this few years old documentary film from YouTube. There's a lot of footage about parlor building, setting up ball management system, electronics, history and old black and white archive footage.

The film is cut to five pieces. You'll find them all from related videos.

Ok.. that's just crazy cool. I wish there was a version with english sub-titles.

What's the name of this documentary? If someone can determine the name, we might be able to find one on DVD with subtitles.

Great find!

The Japanese don't even have the common courtesy to speak English.

They have a different word for EVERYTHING.

I thought it was very good but it needs subtitles.

[Supersaiyan]

Yes. It would had been nice to know what they said at the fourth and fifth part of the documentary. That parlour boss were a bit funny character.

I don't know the name of the film but it seems to be at least ten years old depending the modern machines shown. It seems to be series since there were something about next episode - about video arcade gaming.

They sure can speed load them single shot pachinkos!!

...

Yes, I thought the players loading the single shots was wild! I also found it interesting how when the doors opened it was a STAMPEDE of little dudes getting to specific machines!

Yes, we need to find this docmentary!.

Thought I'd bump this back to the top, an interesting watch for those who haven't seen it yet. I'm sure Sankyo had a big hand in it, pretty much all the machines you see are theirs.
From the mid 90's, based on the frames of the games.

And yes, I've already saved it to my computer, in case it disappears
