There are loads of these arcades across the city. Crazy loud, mega bright and full of cheap, crappy toys that the Japanese are hellbent on winning. They are exactly like the ones in Blackpool where as a smaller version of myself, I would waste all my hard earned and long saved holiday cash on machines with claws which looked like they were definitely going to pick up that Sooty puppet that I yearned for, but just at the last minute the claw which I'd adjusted to fit perfectly over Sooty, suddenly lost all its strength and gripping ability and just pawed uselessly over what should have definitely been my puppet. The desperado here in the Tokyo version was hellbent on getting the Kill Bill Barbie and we watched mesmerised as he fed coin after coin in, positioning the claw just right every time and yet the strength of those claws was just like the ones in Blackpool and probably means, they're all made in China.
