TV Mook Mystery Journey: Surprising theory of pachinko evolution

[cait001]

1992 Japanese tv show exploring the history of pachinko, this marked the beginning of the contemporary movement to correct the myths of pachinko's origins.

I have prepared a Japanese-only and English subtitled version. This has been a long endeavour that also included me getting in touch with 3 people involved in the production, and lots of help with translation and annotations.

It's absolutely hilarious to listen to British people cast shade about pachinko when their arcades were half gambling machines that any kid would play. Classic orientalist posturing.
