pachinko matchbooks

Here are a bunch of pachinko-advertising Japanese matchbook scans uploaded at The Internet Archive by user matchboxposters.

I have provided basic OCR and machine translation beneath each, but not verified for accuracy.

If you want more pachinko matchbooks, I also have this lovely little book of matchbooks that was released by 吉田 栄華 (Eika Yoshida) who wrote 偏愛パチンコ紀行 (A Passionate Journey Through Pachinko).

as a bonus, here are a bunch of tanuki matchbooks shared by matchboxposters that looked cool:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, banning trans people from bathrooms, and declaring trans existence to be child abuse.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president that has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked gestapo and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. The world witnessed ICE execute a mother and a nurse and then lie about what we saw. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

Last of the latest batch of Coin Journals scanned by Gaming Alexandria founder Hubz!  We bought these a while back and added them to his stacks and now is the time where we stand back to appreciate how each of these monstrous issues is like 450 pages.  And still many more to get scanned, though those are all with Joey/Detchibe now.

scans: 5 Komaya (こまや) flyers from Japan

I love Komaya machines!  Many of their machines make me think of pre-war trade stimulators. Spin Ball and Rock 'n Roll are essentially gambling machines, but wouldn't you much prefer to gamble like this instead of at a computer screen? Mountain Climber is a much-loved action game.

Thank you to Gerry Halle for scanning these for me.
