I don't like her cute, meh. The "nun" outfit it's cool thought.

The long haired it's a meh, GREEN/Days cover copy. Dun't like it. But the pachinko looks very awesome.

I think there's a portion of the game where Ayu has a gun and she's very dolled up, haha. It looked very retro to me even though you could only see it for like 2 seconds in the trailer.

He seems like a side character that is involved with the story.

I wonder if he has to do with the creation of this whole project, haha.

^ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko
Quote:
Pachinko (パチンコ?) is a Japanese gaming device. A pachinko machine resembles a vertical pinball machine, but has no flippers and uses a large number of small balls. The player fires balls into the machine, which then cascade down through a dense forest of pins. If the balls go into certain locations, sequences of events are triggered that result in more balls being released; these balls can then be exchanged for prizes. Pachinko machines were originally strictly mechanical, but modern ones have incorporated extensive electronics, becoming similar to video slot machines.

Hahahaha. The way they advertised "Hamasaki Ayumi Monogatari" made it sound like it was based on her true story. But the anime shows that Ayu was a...construction worker before her debut? XD

Pachinko's are essentially a Japanese equivalent of one-hand bandit machines originating from the USA. They're gambling machines. Gambling is banned in Japan, if I'm not mistaken, which is why these machines operate using small balls - you put some in at the top of the machine, they fall down passing through obstacles (akin to pinball tables) and you can win more of them to play again, or exchange them for money. During the play, animations, videos or music are being played on the screen to entertain you (just like pinball tables used graphics and pictures in their design) and display results or such.

The Wikipedia entry about pachinkos explains everything, from how they work to why are they somewhat controversial (and thus why would Ayu's collaboration with pachinko be controversial).

Gambling is banned in Japan, so you just win those little balls you change in valuable articles afterwards. No money. At least not officially.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:
Because gambling for cash is illegal in Japan, balls won cannot be exchanged directly for cash in the parlor; instead the balls are exchanged for tokens, which are then taken outside and exchanged for cash at a place nominally separate from the parlor and possibly run by organized crime.

So, yeah... not officially, at least
