Day in the Life of a Japanese Game Center Worker

A day in the life at Japan Arcade Game Center following a Japanese Working in Tokyo. We start at their morning routine in Tokyo and follow them to their Japanese office, see their regular working hours in Japan, what they do in the course of their job to get more insight on Japanese work cultre and finally see what they do after work with their co-workers. Mai’s workplace, Taito Game Station, is one of Japan’s most popular Game Center chains. Her company Taito is famously known for some the world’s first arcade games such as Space Invaders and Bubble Bobble. Now with more than 160 game centers and other entertainment facilities all throughout Japan, the company continues to innovate and provide fun and exciting entertainment to all its customers. The Takadanobaba game center has almost every type of arcade game you could imagine, with a total of 326 machines. Interestingly, the numbers of game centers in Japan is down by 50% compared to the last 20 years, but the recent surge in anime popularity has helped revitalize the prize game sector, helping boost this industry back. Also, in Japanese game centers, it’s common to ask the staff for tips and advice on how to win, especially for the crane games. And apparently, if you are struggling a lot, they’ll even adjust the position of the prize so it’s easier to win.

    I just got back from spending two weeks in Japan. My recommendation: Go nuts buying food. If you're coming from America, spending in Japan has never been better. It's a golden age for eating out in Japan, if you're an American tourist. Japan hasn't experienced any inflation during the pandemic, (in fact, they've had deflation in some sectors of their economy), while we've had runaway inflation, especially eating out. Plus, the JPY is falling against the USD. My wife and I went to a five star luxury restaurant on the 35th floor of a brand new hotel in the heart of Shinjuku, and the bill came out to 11,500 JPY. My jaw about hit the floor. That's a five star meal for less $75 for the two of us (Neither of us ordered alcohol, just as a disclaimer. Alcohol would have probably doubled the bill, as is typical in high-end restaurants). The same kind of meal would have cost us $180-200 in the US right now. Street food, like hole-in-the-wall Ramen shops, we stuffed ourselves for under 2,000 JPY total, or $12.75, or less than $6.50 a person. And of course, you got the usual staples of baked goods from 7-11, and vending machines selling drinks for 100 JPY... or _65_ _cents_ . In the US, the vending machine near my office charges $2.25 for a bottle of coke. Just stunning. However, electronics and goods that are sold internationally (e.g., watches, clothing, and jewelry), they're priced basically the same as the US. That hasn't changed. There are other domestic goods and services that are similarly super cheap, by contemporary American standards. So keep an eye out for bargains. And pig out, my friend.

    @@somefishhere I’m from the US, but lived in the Philippines from 8-18 years old. Moved back to the US and I had aspirations to be an animator. I wanted to study in Japan as I specifically wanted to do hand drawn animation. Went to Sendagaya Japanese School that’s just around the corner from the station in Takadanobaba and am JLPT N2 level fluent in Japanese after 2 years. Found out later on that since I’m foreign I would have to pay the entire tuition for animation school up front which means I would have had to get a loan at that point. As much as I wanted to do this, I wasn’t going to take on that much debt to do so. If I had been able to pay in installments it probably would have worked out but 🤷‍♂️. So spent a very fun 2 years there (kinda like an extended gap year) and then went back home to the US and work here now. While I don’t use Japanese for work now, it certainly makes a resume stand out haha I worked at the Burger King there while I was there and was able to move up to shift manager (took the Serv Safe classes in Japanese lol). When I was there, we were actually the number 1 Burger King in the country for cleanliness, speed and adherence to different food standards which is pretty cool ☺️ Spent many hours (and money) playing groove coaster at the Taito in the Big Box there haha

I asked him how he manages to win so often, and he told me the secret was (perseverance and) asking the staff for help. Apparently they’ll even move an item to another location in the box, so it’s easier to get.

If they can't, they'll find someone else who can help you. Basically they won't give up until you've been helped properly.

    This has to got to be my favorite video from this series due to a couple of reasons: - I go to this exact game center pretty often since my school is at Takadanobaba - I’m addicted to crane games and I agree, ask the staff for advice or help to shift the prizes and they will generally do so. Some even ask if you need instructions in English, if they can do so! - I learned something new: that they do have sales targets to reach, at least for the managers. My experiences have ranged from staff helping with crane games from easy mode to no help at all, since I thought that it doesn’t affect their salaries whether someone wins or not. Insightful! Appreciate the constant great quality videos!

    yeah, that is also why the suicide rates are one of the highest. Don't glorify ethics you don't know shit about, ffs. Japan is also right now in one of their lowest when it comes to economic growth since the 1980's. Hell, they even entered in a technical recession and lost their spot of being the worlds third biggest economy to germany. The first question that came to my mind when I started watching the video is, I hope she is married at that age and has kids. But ofc it is Japan, everyone struggles to get by. An advanced society in many aspects (also many downsides), yet a dying one, because no one can afford shit.

    The timing of this video is really sentimental for me, as it’s almost the one-year anniversary of my trip to Japan. While in Osaka, I visited Super Potato, hoping to find a copy of Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero for PS2. I was greeted by an incredibly polite employee. After googling the game on my phone, I checked with him and learned it was out of stock. Feeling a bit disappointed, I continued browsing the store. About ten minutes later, the same employee came back with several games similar to Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero, without me even asking. It was an incredible moment of excellent customer service and a kind gesture that truly enhanced my experience at the store. I ended up bringing home Auto Modellista, which I now have framed. Thank you, Paolo, for the amazing content you produce.

    I absolutely adore japanese arcades, the games where they dispense cards of different rarities and foiling is exciting and the fact that you can build your 'team' and use these cards make it all the more enjoyable. To the guy who handles the medal games, I hope everyone doing their job can be as joyful as him. I was very moved.

    BIG THANKS FOR THIS!! 30 year arcade tech/collector/manager myself(Chuck E Cheese, Namco, Gameworks, Dave and Busters, etc), but playing in arcades for 45 years. One thing I love about seeing Japanese arcades is how pristine and pretty everything looks. Very pale, and also colorful, but the lighting in the place makes a huge difference. The thing I love about American arcades is the dark gritty with black light and day glow and crazy carpet designs.

    Round 1 is actually a Japanese company that expanded to the US. In Japan, their game centers are a mix of sports center and arcade and you pay a fixed fee, depending on how long you're there. So, it's usually a good deal. The arcade games are mostly older, though. But I love it!
