I've been chatting with Mr. Gneiss over at PachiTalk and they've been collecting pachinko vinyls and were able to digitize them and get them up on Internet Archive! Thank you for your work on these. There is a long tradition of using songs to open pachinko parlors (and other businesses.) If you have other pachinko records, please get in touch.
the B-side on this 7" is a track called パチンコ天国 (Pachinko Heaven) which even has its own dance!

These next 3 records we have no date for. If you can confirm the year of release for any of these please leave a comment.
National Pachinko Day was established 1979-11-14. These 3 National Pachinko Day records are currently the only releases by Sound Marketing Center on Discogs.com. Thanks again to MrGneiss for adding these to Discogs.
The cover design on this one is my favourite:

And one final treat from the depths of the Internet Archive, a "Japanese-influenced" bit of Danish piano called Pachinko:

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, and stoking the constant terrorist bomb and death threats
against trans lives and institutions that don't also purge trans people.
This
blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being
terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats
that must be eliminated.
The USA is disappearing random brown
people off the streets via unidentified masked men and shipping them off
to notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this government-run terror campaign against its own citizens.
