“PACHINKO JAWS” (ぱちんこ ジョーズ), Original Licensed Japanese B1 Poster c.2006, B1 Size (72 × 103 cm)

Sale price $350.00

This is an original Japanese B1 poster produced by KYORAKU for the licensed ぱちんこ JAWS pachinko machine promotion. KYORAKU’s official archive lists ぱちんこ JAWS in its 2006 lineup, and P-WORLD identifies the related title as CRぱちんこジョーズR80TF1, introduced in July 2006. The poster also carries the KYORAKU logo, printed web addresses, and the Universal Studios licensing credit along the lower edge, placing it firmly within the world of official Japanese pachinko advertising.

For collectors unfamiliar with the format, pachinko is Japan’s distinctive upright pinball-style gaming format, played by launching small metal balls into a vertical machine to trigger jackpots and prize payouts. In industry language, a tie-up machine is a pachinko or pachislot title produced in collaboration with outside entertainment content; SANKYO defines the term this way, and JAWS is a terrific example of that Japanese crossover culture—turning a famous Hollywood property into a licensed gaming machine with its own dedicated promotional graphics.

A striking, large-format gaming poster dominated by the enormous red JAWS masthead and a head-on shark bursting through dark blue surf below, jaws open amid crashing white spray. The Japanese title ぱちんこ ジョーズ sits beneath the English logo, while the bold KYORAKU mark anchors the lower portion above the printed PC/mobile web addresses. Unlike a theatrical film one-sheet, this is a Japanese pachinko promotional—an unusual crossover collectible that blends film memorabilia, gaming history, and Japanese commercial design, and not something you see often in this oversized B1 format.
