Pachinko is popular throughout Japan and while some of the parlors have ultra-modern architecture and look more like Las Vegas casinos, some still are the old variety that employ more “traditional” styles.

Here is a street performer hired by the Pachinko Hall in Shibuya’s Center-gai to advertise their store. The sign says “Today, Famous person in store, only 4 times a year event”, and beneath that “Super BB Day – Center-gai, in front of McDonalds”.

This is not the typical face of Japan, but it is not exactly out of the ordinary either.
