Day in the Life of a Japanese Casino Worker Pachinko
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2020
- A day in the life working in Tokyo Japan as a Pachinko Casino Worker. This is what a typical day working in Japan is like if you work in the Casino Entertainment and leisure Industry. This is typical life living in Tokyo and working a morning shift. The Japan working culture is shown as we follow Kento, 27 year old Pachinko Parlor Hall Manager from morning until evening to see what his average Japanese job is like. Pachinko Hall manager works at Maruhan, one of the largest Pachinko companies in Japan. Pachinko is a type of mechanical ball game resembling pinball, but instead with many tiny balls and with the aim to drop the balls into specific pockets in the machine. If one of the balls, goes into the designated pocket, called STATO CHAKKA, it will initiate a slot machine like roll on the LCD screen. If the numbers or patterns line up, then it’s a jackpot. The winnings can be used to claim various prizes at the front desk, but cannot be claimed for cash directly since gambling is prohibited by Japanese law. Instead, the winnings can be exchanged into gold chips. Then outside at a neighboring TUC shop, the gold chips can be exchanged for cash.
NOTE: I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy during these times. This video was filmed before Tokyo started recommending a city lockdown. In fact, at the time of uploading this video, Tokyo is still not officially on lockdown and residents are able to go out as they wish, but please know that I am staying at home these days as much as possible, eating meals at home and only venturing out for necessary items such as pregnancy clinic visits, grocery shopping, etc and also practicing social distancing as much as it is possible in Tokyo. And of course, I am not traveling these days.

Thanks for keeping us entertained during these mad times Paolo! Legend 🤙
Hey Paolo! Thanks so much for keeping the quality content coming in this difficult time. 👍 😎 🍻
@@craigross6225 Thanks for watching. Hope you and your family are safe.
@@haitolawrence5986 Yeah, it's getting harder and harder as I stay inside more. I appreciate you watching.
I love your videos! It's the same for me where I live, we are not in lockdown, people can still go to shopping centres and schools are still open. I've stopped going though.
This man wears a full suit just to change out of it into a uniform....this man does not screw around.
TheDragonaf1 he’s the manager and he was required to arrive at company with full uniform on, see why he wears a suit now?
I'd probably brush my teeth before I put it on instead of after though...?
末原恭子 so how do you feel if you let others know you work for casino?
@@tedlovejesus do you want that bad to be right?
in any case paolo explained at the beginning that it was common in japan for men to wear suits to go to work even if they have to put on a uniform afterwards, so it's not a casino thing
He even has a Louis Vuitton wallet lmao
"Shinjuku can get very dirty."
He said while sweeping what seems to be the cleanest street I had ever seen.
Nahh I tell ya it’s true as someone lived in Tokyo. At night big districts can get dirty, you will see drunk people passed out on the streets, rats running around on the streets, or some convenience stores would take out it’s trashes on the road. But by 4 or 5 am the cleaning truck would clean those streets start the morning with clean ass city lol
@@lanakula8072 Deyum at my place you can give 80 days and a 100 cleaning trucks but still couldn't empty the garbage cans on the streets.
Lana Kula What? Lol I’ve been to Tokyo for a month and frequented the night districts a lot and have never seen that lol. I did see a pile of trash in one spot in the morning and then it was gone by night though. However, Tokyo is definitely not that dirty. Probably the cleanest city I ever been to.
Sam Da Man haven’t you seen the Shibuya meltdown lol I assume you’re not really a night person
Lana Kula I’ve been to Shibuya many times, never did see it super dirty hahaha
“Shinjuku can get very dirty”
**Floor is spotless**
Similar to colonel angus
He takes such pride in his work..I need to take some lesson from this man... Very inspirational
hes awesome huh?
Well unless you live outside of Japan it is not necessary to give it your all to corporations since they seek to squeeze every last drop out of you while paying minimum wage as much as possible.
This is all of Japan tbh
"Day in the life of" is a really good series. I'm always looking forward to them xD thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks ber tolentino! Glad that I can bring some enjoyment to your part of the world!
@@PaolofromTOKYO was this filmed recently?
@@frankielima3262 check my pinned comment.
Whenever I see a "Day in the life of" I instantly click!
Me too
I appreciate the dude straight up calling someone out for cutting in line.
🤣in the most polite way possible as well 💯
It’s actually illegal to cut in lines in Japan so it’s pretty much required for staff to call people out
TimeSnake I’ve heard it since I was little. I’m half Japanese and I lived in japan for 7 years. Line cutting is a crime and you can be fined for it if you try to put up a fight.
@@TimeSnakeits true, depending on the case you can be fined up to 10,000 yen
Tbh,This looks a lot much better life than the ordinary salaryman day of life.
Yup, no overtime because of the shift system and the people working there seem to be more laid back because of the nature of the job.
i think the most attractive job in japan to me is a firefighter, out and about, hard work for the people and reasonable break times
LOL, great comment!
The whole thing look staged
move there lmao
My God...
This guy does *everything*. Cleaning, greeting, managing, patroling, giving instructions in an extremely busy/loud environment AND doing all of that with flawless speed as well ad impeccable composure on top of it all.
I would drop dead at the end of a single day.
many of the japanese do...
short drop and a sudden stop
Everyone talks about it as if it’s something to aspire to but sad seeing how hard they are worked. I don’t see any hearing protection either with hours in that loud enviroment
I'm a security officer at a casino and I don't even do half of that.
His the manager
Then he goes out drinking and gets 6 hours of sleep. How is he alive
This guy has the work ethic of Spongebob.
Look at him STRUTTING through that casino.
@- IdonplayAdc - what about now
Best Internet comment of the day!
はい
The Japanese are know for taking great pride in their work
“It gets pretty dirty here”
*picks up a 1/16th inch of piece of paper*
Santino Alvarado unacceptable, there shouldn’t be a single atom of dust on the streets.
These employees should all be reprimanded.
Santino Alvarado nah, sometimes streets in japan can be dirty but i guess that on day it was pretty clean, hence why he picked up that little amount of trash. im pretty surprised that shinjukus streets were pretty clean that day, because it is a very busy city.
I was in Japan for about 10 days on vacation a couple of years ago, I never saw a single piece of litter. Not even a gum wrapper. Also, there are ZERO trash cans on the public streets, you are expected to carry your own trash home to dispose of it.
probably because they clean up every day. imagine if they never did how much shit might be laying around
Ramhams1337 it would probably look like San Francisco or New York
Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one😊
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
This video got me hooked, and now I’m determined to become a billionaire in just two years! 💪💰
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
I've heard alot about crypto currency investments and how effective it can grow your income! Any recommendations on a guide?
Catherine S. Woods is an amazing tutor for crypto. Highly recommended! She’s been my Tutor and Mentor for past solid 8years!
9:25 I really like the way he handed that thing over to that guy. Just well-rehearsed and carefully done.
Japanese worker: _exists_
Paolo: *I'm about to explain this man's whole career*
lol
Omg so underrated and original love ittttt 🤣🤣
You deserve more likes 😂😂😂
lmao this comment is so funny and underrated
Lmfao bruh
"Shinjuku can get very dirty", sweeps only one cigarette in THE most cleanest street walk ever
basically my mother.
*sees a piece of paper on an other wise clean floor*
mom: our house is in CHAOS
Me: can't see the floor
Also me: Yes, this is clean enough.
It's the cleanest street because he cleans up all the junk before it can build up.
EXACTLY! when I was there, there's almost ZERO trash! The people there are well disciplined. I can't even brain!
@@RozArialind Ah yes but planned chaos to be certain.
That poster with the best customer service people looks like it’s for a superhero movie.
The production quality of these videos is honestly impressive, thanks for sharing all of these with us Paolo! Hope you and your family are well.
"Kento has discovered a player cheating."
"Let's follow Kento as he smashes the customer's hands with a sledgehammer."
*in a soft voice*
“Hey Kento.. why are your hands bloody?”
Lmaooooo made my day 😂
You can have the pachinko balls and the hammer or you can walk out of here but you can't have both
@@tio9896 now you have to learn how to do it with your other hand
*Speaks to the camera as Kento beats up the dude in the background* : “So typically these beatings last 8-10 mins depending on the the customer’s toughness...”
This guy is doing 10 people’s jobs
It's for camera
Svide or is he
@@whoareyou3185 believe it or not,the job here is very strict and people are really working hard on it
Team effort?
@@nataniellow8648 If you actually believe that, then you might need to do more research buddy.
My god, he checks each of the slot machines, the monitors, clean the storefront, greet customers, check and pamper the customers, check for daily reports, clean the toilet, giving feedback to apprentices...this man does everything
Loved this! So insightful and a great look at how hard the work actually is!! Thanks for putting this series together!
so he is basically a manager, cleaner, server, body guard, accountant, did i miss anything?
i think he is japanese
Human
Might be a dad and husband as well
announced that they now serve pizza
Lmaoooo i dindnt know hes a....
server.
Can we take a moment to appreciate his style in the morning? All these people work so hard, are organized and look so kind! Japanese etiquette is very awe inspiring.
I think the customer situation is unfair. If the customer gets irrational and rude to you, you have to suck it up and take the abuse. Not like I'm surprised since it's Japan.
@@aus-li don't circle jerk japan too hard... you have to suck it up and take the abuse in any job elsewhere in the world
and they are all so polite to one another and smiling. I want to be there! NOW!
@@thecattermat Not my line of work. I work in a pawnshop. I tell the customers, if you don't like the price, go somewhere else. They usually come back though because I give the best prices haha
looks like exhausting. wear a suit during commute then switch into uniform. why cant they just wear normal cloth or uniform already and just cover it with jacket
I've been working out my way into the earlier videos since I found this series. This is just such interesting stuff. Thank you for all the work and all the people involved, all these people who agreed to share their lives. I'm from Lisbon, Portugal, and I hope to be able to visit Japan someday, but this is just such a wonderful window into the day-to-day realities of people from there, it's just amazing. Cheers!
This guy's arm and hand movement is mesmerizing and obviously very effective and intentional. What a joy of a guy to watch, seems so positive even off the job haha.
Brushing teeth, in a suit? Now that is a bold move.
thats cuz he believes in himself. i still wouldnt do it tho lol shit, i usually do it naked
Because he likes the white stains from toothpaste on his suite.)
L. P. Would never do that if I got paid 2 million. Risky ass move
Pro Gamer move
look at him, he doesnt even have a phone case. he is a risk taker.
Man, he's so polite and positive even when being ignored-- would buy that man a beer.
@F4K3
Hes a real man no no hes is the man
14:01
It’s probably part of the job to get ignored. Besides, we don’t really know what’s going on underneath that smile of his.
@@laoyue5924 Thats true. They did it as part of their job, not genuinely
This guy is AMAZING! LIKE INSANELY passionate.
Fascinating as always.. Japanesd customers services is a whole different level.🥰
"Shinjuku can be very dirty..."
That sidewalk is cleaner than my room..
Probably they mean crime
@@thatzombieplace Even crime ain't that bad in Shinjuku. I think it's just how they view it till it's perfection, lol.
@Águila701 As a regular Shinjuku-goer it is nowhere near as bad as the standard of other countries. It gets dirty, but he's right to be astonished.
@Águila701 You see that in some portions, but I definitely don't ever recall seeing that right front and center, lol. Piles of trash bags that are wrapped, you mean? Isn't really what I'd count as dirty, but to each their own.
@Águila701 Yeah that really isn't even close to how grungy many other cities in other countries can be, dude. That's small time.
Ok but this man is so precious, he looks like he is really enjoying himself and that is lovely!
Of course, he has proper 8 hour workday, instead of 14
I agree!
He does more in one day than I do in weeks lol! I’m tired just watching him. I go on my computer in pajamas and make money 😆
@@FriendsVsWild lol me too. One day I literally sent one email, took a nap, and then watched tv and got paid.
Yes the workers did.
Love it! I don't know how many times I watched this and still watching this while having coffee before going to work. This is in my trifecta list. Delivery worker, Casino worker and Ramen chef!
I don't have a gambling problem, you do ... I just enjoy lining up outside in the cold for over an hour for the casino to open!
"his company is careful not to follow a night shift by an early shift"
*must be NICE*
ua-cam.com/video/L1B6x12_G6g/v-deo.html
thats illegal in my country, you have to have a specific rest time in between
Yeah still overworked employee
Yeah, I've worked part time before and I got assigned on a closing shift then the next day for the opening. I died the day after lol
Imagine working night shift at the last day of the month then seeing the next roster schedule you being assigned in morning shift at the first day next month, I mean..."boss, can I sleep in the conference table after my shift?"
"Shinjuku can get very dirty"
and then shows a sidewalk that i would consider unrealistically spotless
japan ...
Matheus oliveira it was literally clean, compared to my country which is so dirty
Well if you dig deeper you would find a lot of dirty spots in Shinjuku especially around the Okubo area, but that’s no where near how dirty San Francisco is sadly. In general, Japan is probably the cleanest developed country in the world.
By 9AM the cleaners have already mostly gone through Kabukicho.(This area of Shinjuku)
It gets filthy at night...
Kabukicho and Shinjuku Station gets pretty filthy with overflowing trash and puke when night falls, especially on Friday nights and weekends. The cleaners do an excellent job in the early mornings though so its usually clean by 9am.
I mean, Shinjuku is kind of dirty, specially compared to other places. Not like Osaka though...
This channel produces great "new style" documentaries. Well done. Keep producing and sharing.
The level of respect and polish the employee have is incredible. Coming from the U.S, it's a refreshing site to see. Excellent work Kento.
I was looking for the "day in the life of a yakuza gang member" petition
He's getting there, this is just the start
Still looking for that "Day in the life of a Japanese porn blurrer", don't lose hope guys. :(
@@jiayi205They aren't the same as they used to be. I don't get the appeal when they only do normal business things.
@@jiayi205 It's just a running gag, don't take it too serious lol
Well you've just watched a video on one of their main revenue sources, so there you go lol
It's amazing how he is always smiling! At my job, I only smile when it's time to go home.
Me deppresion
I smile when paychecks come
That smile that never droops from his face... He must be on crack!
Those types are the first on the chopping block when layoffs need to be made
he is being filmed...
I love watching these “Day in a life” videos because they help me reset and wanna strive to do better with my customer service. Everyone you do is so polite and well-mannered, and I wanna be just like that with my customers 😁keep these videos coming bro
I keep coming back to the day of the life videos. Everyone is so nice. Thank you
“Shinjuku can get very dirty”
Proceeds to show spotless clean streets.
Which proves one of two things, he's lying or he's doing a very good job.
@@PeterB4441 Or third, his interpretation of 'dirty' is different.
I think he's just showing off how clean his sidewalks are.
Nah its just japan
@W0Y4K Naples and Paris be like : Come on, please, we can help him redefine the word "Dirty"
Seriously, Japanese customer-service is on another level.
It's just retarded, they are just saying sorry an bowing all the time to the point where it's annoying. Not to mention that they are forced to "say sorry to the customers even when they are wrong".
Yah, if they don't then the yakuza will delete their entire life.
@@r1hk4n59 it's called costumer service...even if the costumer is wrong, you still need to give your best service... I mean have you worked before?
R1hk4n I would rather have that than what we have here in Uk where they act like they are doing you a favour by coming to work.
@@gjab19 Issue is not if customer is wrong. Problem is when customer is obviously trying to screw you personaly over and take advantage of you.
Kento looks good in his suit!
All of it was surreal 😂
When the tiny girl started shouting, I just couldn't 🤣🤣
When he said Shinjuku can get very dirty then proceeded to pick up the smallest wrapper. If only in NYC we had to deal with just that.
People in Japan are raised to all be polite and extremely disciplined. almost no one here in america is raised like that.
get that smelly rank hobo off the sidewalk! welcome to nyc :p
Shinji get in the fucking robot.
Cross Fys
The amazing thing is that there’s very few trash cans on the streets, so you have to hold on to your trash until you get home
Exactly, in America, it's all about individualism culture, I, me, and "Why should I clean up something that janitors are paid to do."
"They can't get money because gambling is prohibited, but they can get golden chips that can be exchanged for money next door."
That just sounds like gambling with extra steps..
It is but government likes too much money from gambling so it acts stupid.
Legal loophole.

Hi Paolo, I really enjoyed this episode and watched the rest of the series. Make more it is fascinating to see the lives of ordinary people in Japan. I found he episode of the Master Chef a bit hectic but you told it as it was. Well done. If you looking to make more. Go for it. We waiting in anticipation of the next and the next and then next. Stay Safe and Regards.
I love how respectful the Japanese culture is toward others and customers in this video. They are so efficient in their daily routines.
Woman: “We are going to start the meeting, good morning!”
Staff: AHHHHHHHH
can relate
Lmao
日本人でも聞き取れないwwww
やや yes
RIP earphone
the little paper on the street was a paid actor
lmao
@J. Jonah Jameson hahahahahaha
oh no it's the "_____ is a paid actor" meme
Loooooool
Lol
People in Japan are so humble and polite...they bow to all the customers and are so patient with everything...
Life in Japan is so good...I believe these people are happier than the higher-earning people
COMMENDABLE JOB
I so love your "In the day of the life of" videos. Thank you for doing them!
"He's the Casino Manager". Then proceeds to 1) pick up the broom to sweep, 2) Greeted customers as a receptionist, 3) help customers having difficulty with the machines as a tech, 4) attend to customers as customer service rep 5) logs in daily events as clerk/data encoder, 6) cleaned the toilet as a janitor, and 7) picks up trash as utility staff. That's gonna be one hell of a mouthful for a job description.
IMO, the cleaning the toilet and sweeping outside is a "humbling" experience as a manager. I would have thought that they would have somebody else who's sole job is doing those tasks..
Marcus Figuerroa I can barely do one thing for my job and this man’s doing ten things at once
He's more like a leader than a boss, which is a good thing.
actually those guys get a lot of money from bonuses on their salaries, this bbq that he went to isn't a cheap alternative, sometimes it is like a whole day of work to eat there
there is a word for that: "polyvalent"
Really really loving these "day in the life of" videos. Always so interesting to watch, good work!
Thanks for always watching!
Paolo fromTOKYO can you make more of those? Pleeeease
Kento seems like a really nice chap!
Keep up the good work man, god bless
Thank you Paolo! I appreciate these videos! They are very relaxing!
He's only a casino worker? He's dressed like he owns the dang thing. Man this guy has a lot on his plate I wonder how much he makes.
probably not a lot since the average salary for a casino worker with or without experience is 2.1 million yen per year so that’s roughly $19,600 per year or £15,800 per year
edit: or $9.46 per hour working 5 days a week doing an 8 hour work shift
@@gillmanmedia5487 Yeah I kinda figured he wasn't paid enough.
@@gillmanmedia5487 he looks like he has a senior(ish) position though, I'd put him on the 3rd quadtile
he probably dont earn a lot, but you can get promotion quickly since staff is quite young,
dress code in costum is cultural in japan (school or later searching job, of marriage etc) even for working class,
in addition he can meet girls or people easily with this suit. he have the luck to work at shinjuku wich is a big hub of life in tokyo (officestaff, worker, student, tourist, nightlife etc), since the culture of eat after work is large that make restaurant very cheap and numerous there,
i remember ate in a 24/7 izakaya at shinjuku and pay all i can eat+drink for 25$, generally 50cl beer is like 5$, and food is like 7$ for ramen/plate or in group...you can order a big one for many people, but you can also order additional meat plate for3-10$ depending of what you want....remember most of japanese eat the morning, few for lunch, and in evening lightly and mainly drink.
Almost every working adults dress like that in Japan, good looking in every situations is the norm, don't matter how much money you make or how important your job is.
dude i'm not lying, i cried on how disipline this country is.
Yes, as well as neat, organized, and intelligent. But unfortunately, very ridged and drone like.
Otzi Iceman I don’t really care Japan in general is a whole other world compared to the U.S. Everyone seems to be pretty calm and respect each other.
Its very stressful, but really its like education. Its built for certain people and they can thrive or be crushed by it
All of that doesn't make sense. In the end we're all gonna die in the same way and our only natural obligations are to fuck and to eat. The rest is simply the rest. Don't waste your time here on this earth.
It is a facade, Japan is starting to crack, once the old guard passes away you are going to see enormous changes in the country. Young people can't earn enough buy a house or live decently.
Thank you, Paolo, for your fantastic video just as every single one of your very interesting and inspiring topics about our everlasting and beloved Japan.
Dude every time I watch this video I can’t help but think this guy is a beast. Well done and great video paolo!
*_WE ALL NEED THIS RIGHT NOW._*
*_MORE, PLEASE._*
Man.... as an introvert, having to have dinner with my colleagues after a whole day of being a cleaner, janitor, floor manager, fraud checker, security guard and customer service employee would be fatal.
I know! and that's so common in Japan, it sucks! I worked there and even me not being a Japanse found it really bad, I'm a really shy girl and not knowing the language ( I can communicate in a formal way but not in a really casual way) OMG, and I don't drink and they get drunk and start bullying me for being a party breaker, I had to drink ....and I drank only to get the fucking thing didn't make me feel so bad... really bad times for me, that's the only thing that makes me don't want to return to work there :( you can't say no to go out with them, is a part of your job, not in all jobs but almost in al white collar jobs, really bad for introverts and imagine being a foreigner introvert...
Are you really forced to go out with your coworkers in Japan?
That's messed up
@@somaschicksal3235 Yeah, I can attest to this as well. I worked as an English teacher, and they lay the guilt trip on both the foreign AND Japanese staff. My Japanese co-worker and I would rant to each other about how cult-like it could get.
Oh damn. Here I was thinking oh how lovely, they must really get along nicely for wanting to dine together after work a lot! I had no idea it was like that. Social/work etiquette is really high maintenance there it seems. I guess it's perfect for people that like to be married to their job... Japanese often commit to one job for life to begin with. But I didn't know it was that extreme! Big yikes. Getting bullied for still attending but then not wanting to consume alcohol is really... messed up. As if a person can't be fun/have fun when sober.
My personal motto is always: I work to live, I don't live to work. But for them it seems like it's definitely the other way around. I do admire their strong spirit and diligence though, and I guess if growing up by such standards it's easier to deal with since they are accustomed to it. But I'd be... devastated. I like not having to partake in work outings. I prefer to keep work and private life very strictly separated. It's not for me either, even if my coworkers are pretty cool people that I get along with really well. I've had jobs before where there was social pressure to join in though, but I don't think it can compare to this level.
@@somaschicksal3235 theres no written rule that u have to go, but its certainly expected and people will peer pressure u
I work in a casino and am just wowed at how these guys go about their business. I have to check myself from being snarky with rude or non tipping players, but these guys just make me hang my head in shame. AMAZING VIDEO. I CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT IN 3 DAYS!!!!!!
Everyone is soooo respectful and kind! They are so honest and never slow down! The standard in these countries is so high and they still live up to them with a ton extra! I have so much respect to these amazing friends. ❤️ ❤️🙌🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
he looks so radiant while the customers look dead asf
Cause it’s a façade
Yeah, because he’s making money while they’re losing money
@@dvorak826 lolol
It's a sad fact he's getting paid with the money they lose but hey casinos wherent build to make you rich
@@dvorak826 LMAOOO
One thing I noticed that is consistent throughout all the 'Day in the life' videos is that Japanese people dress/present themselves neatly and professionally regardless of the type of profession. This is truly commendable
Then they get bombed after work.

"His company is careful to avoiding a morning shift following a late shift"
My Work: 🙈🙉
LOL yup... here in Canada, employers are only supposed to maintain 7 hours between shifts. You could work until 11:00pm and expected to be back at work at 6:00am
@@ky9933 crazy, here in Germany we have 11 hours between shifts. I will never work till 11pm and go back at 6am.
And you don't get to 🙊or else 🔫
@@ky9933 that is 7 hours but ok
@@MystiCalBEING89 Exactly. It is 7 hours. And not enough time between shifts.
i love coming back to re-watch this video 👌🏼👌🏼
That was very interesting. Some made sense but there was a lot of extra duties such as cleaning the bathrooms included. Thanks for making this video.
japan: "gambling is illegal"
also japan: "here take this chip you can exchange for money"
Bobby Tang Ahhhh the good old technicality
The exchange vendor usually located next to the Casio. It’s the loophole.
@@jasmo961 This is very moronic, frankly. In any other country, this behaviour would be considered gambling. But hey, it's the country with censored porn, so I guess it's business as usual.
Now I see where Square Enix got their idea of Gold Points in Final Fantasy VII.
where's metal gear solid 3 pachinko?
The only thing going through my head while watching this video was: "How he can do this? Where does he find strength?" Then I saw the ending where they drink themself senseless.
Yeah my thoughts exactly xD
Suddenly those suicide rates are making a lot of sense, huh?
It sucks that such a country as Japan that's so beautiful on the outside is so ugly if you look into their culture
Zach z how the fuck is it disgusting? assholes. Stop talking shit when u know nothing
Viktor Srdjan Stojaković Holmäng how are they drinking themselves senseless lmfao. That is clearly not “senseless” smh
I hope my boy Kento is getting well compensated for all his hard work - he has a hand on pretty much everything in the casino’s daily function.
I think the toughest task of all is being polite and smiling throughout the day even if the customers are rude - and we know how casino crowds can be!
Also waiting in line 1 hour before the casino opens is wild 😂 - even wilder there’s an app that has all the machines statistics and people pick their machine based on that.
Japan is awesome! Even in a casino they're so respectful. Love it!
5:49 my man just straight up goes super saiyan

""We appreciate if you don`t pass the customer before you"" Guys, this is the top level civilisation.
Spicy Dunk it is what it is
No it isn't.
@Spicy Dunk cuz customer understands. the customer did not pass customer in front. he was just told as a reminder.
It's so they don't compete physically over machines.
I speed up to slip ahead of em lol japanese work ethic shames us
ive recently discovered your channel and am going through your videos
one at a time. ive been interested in japanese culture for a while now
(im from london) and you really do lift the lid on it. for me its the
everyday stuff that im sure you and other japanese people take for
granted i find fasinating. everything from the light switches being the
other way around and showers in the evenings to the correct etiquette
and general doos and donts. if i could make one suggestion it would be
to consentrate more on what people do before and after work. good work
mate keep it up :)
my favorite video from this series. the other videos are good, but this video is the one i watch over and over again
Who is this madman who puts his suit on *before* brushing his teeth?! Daring today, aren't we?
That is how he lives life on the edge
Start the day with a little razzle dazzle
he styling like John Wick
Ninja!
and whats with the push button shower? whatever it was..i want one!
I wonder how the other day in the life people are doing. Like the Toyota worker, the couple, the delivery driver.. I wonder what’s happened to them since their videos???
I know Moe the housewife who wears kimonos just celebrated Sutan's 1st birthday and her UA-cam cooking channel is growing.

FYI. The toyota worker is paolo's sister-in-law.

“Shinjuku can get very dirty” *sweeps up one individual scrap of paper from the sidewalk*
What makes this guy such a good manager is that he's done all of the jobs of the people he needs to manage. He knows what's right and has a positive attitude when performing his work. This dude could easily be running this whole casino before he's 40. Kento is an inspiration to us all.
Yes he truly is. Wish he could inspire my last boss.
Yes
most likely he will never run the casino.
I respect a man who takes great joy in his work.
I watched and love this series. I watched all series again and again.
I love the sound of his shoes while he's walking.
Port Land yeah, the start of the video was calming.
yeah but those shoes look ridiculous, they'd look good on an elf maybe.
This Kento guy is so precious lol. He seems to enjoy himself while working hard and great fashion sense :D
aMAZING!! video, as always Paolo!!
At the standard US casinos, you’d be considered lucky if a staff member on the floor even recognized you let alone took 4 seconds to stop and ask how you are
Worker: "Shinjuku can be very dirty at times"
Me: "the trash is literally a size of a peble"
Gleto HS you call that Dirty in Japan
@Gleto HS
In the whole city
"Shinjuku can get very dirty"
*Proceeds to sweep one small piece of paper*
My country must be a garbage dump in Japanese standards lol
no..... i stayed around that part of Shinjuku.... the square outside tend to be quite a lot of rubbish as number of young skate boarders and foreigners hang around there
My country is a dumpster
@@fatdoi003 I see foreigners is the cause ofc
Then my country is a landfill
@@mr.langustinos5808 sarcasm it's not common in Japan jajajaj
I like the dedication to being professional in the Japanese workplace, no matter if it's high finance, a casino, or a market. Very admirable.
Paolo, interested in what people ea and their health.. This was a great video but wanted to see more of what he ate during the day. He looks so thin and healthy. I feel like we are always overeating here in the US. Awesome job, Paolo!
"Day in the life of an internet café worker" would be great
They should compare internet cafe workers from tokyo and berlin. Here they just sit behind the counter watching bullshit online, not giving two fucks about customers ....
I love Kento's face. He has this naturally smiling face. Pleasant to look at.
Anyway, stay safe and healthy during this time.
I hope you are safe and healthy too Paolo and wife.
This too shall pass....
can we have Kento for Prez for awhile?
I really enjoy watching your Day in the life videos Paolo. Really enjoy them.
Hello from the US.
