S2014 E9 The Game Center, and the Prize beyond the Prize

本集简介

Outside Yokohama's main rail station is a 6-floor game center. New games come out all the time, but an old standby is a cash cow: crane games, accounting for 40% of revenue.

One patron prints daily photos of meals he's made; another prints a picture of his deceased father; and a long-distance couple exchange photos of each other to mark their love. This is the story of people who treasure time they've spent with special people and capture irreplaceable memories in the form of printed photographs.

The Makeup Room

Osaka Station: a major transportation hub for Western Japan. One popular service catering to travelers there is a Ladies Powder Room. Women who have traveled long distances without any makeup on, or others on their way to or from work or hanging out, stop by here to freshen up. Makeup can be thought of as superficial, but these women's ultimate concerns-work, love, their futures-are hardly trivial. So what are their present circumstances, and what is on their minds?
