exploring the arcade in 団地妻しのび逢い (1972) aka Danchizuma shinobiai aka Apartment Wife: Secret Rendezvous

Oh I found a good one!

It's the arcade in the background of one scene in this "blue movie".

団地妻しのび逢い (1972)

It is a very short clip, but yields many important games!  In this first shot we see a row of games from the ride.





Let's go smudge-by-smudge and try and figure out what games these are!





This machine is in the movie for literally 3 frames.  I do not know what it is, and for the time being I am giving up looking for a profile that fits.  It is not fun getting stumped on the first machine, but fear not!  

colour corrected:






~1969 クレーンゲーム (crane game) by 三共精機 (Sankyo Seiki)






1960s CR-7 by 天龍工業 (Tenryu Industry)



1970 Champion Basket Game - チャンピオン バスケット ゲーム by 昭和遊園 (Showa Yuen)












~1969 Batting Game - バッティング by 日本自動販売機 (Japan Vending Machine)


The movie's version has an alternate cabinet paintjob, but the backglass is the same.

~1969 Base Ball - ベースボール by 児童遊園設備 (Children's Amusement Park Facilities)








~1969 Base ball - ベースボール by 三共 (Sankyo)






We get a second wonderful shot, which is an entirely different lineup!





1960s Sonar Attack - ソーナーアタック by 三共 (Sankyo)

except it is a paint variant, which we also later see in the movie ずべ公番長 ざんげの値打もない (1971).   From the movie:











1968 Duck Hunt - ダックハント by Sega







~1969 Caliber-50 - キャリバー50 by 三共 (Sankyo)


The version found in the movie appears to be far deeper.  The front is exactly the same.


~1969 PTボート (PT Boat) by 三共 (Sankyo)


Now let's quickly run through these 3 pinball machines, all from the USA:

and we end with one last machine, but this one from Japan:


~1969 スゴロクゲーム (Sugoroku Game) by 日本自動販売機 (Japan Vending Machine)
