Online dining
Entirely in Japanese it would seem, this appears to be an online restaurant.
You get to print a little paper apron for your laptop to protect it from getting spattered wth sauce. Bring your own rice and sauce to the machine, choose your meats, watch it being cooked, and then when the bell rings, your (flash) meat is ready and it's time to eat.
It's completely mental.

Clink the link underneath the video
As far as I can make out, the video is an instructional.

I would guess it is an advert
Along the lines of: "if you can't come to our restaurant, watch the video & eat rice at the same time & pretend you are eating our food"
My favorite restaurant in Singapore is called Gyu Kaku - Korean BBQ style dining (ie little BBQ pit like in the video on each table). But it is Japanese & serves Wagu beef - simply divine!

12 years ago I was in Japan working
At night we used to go down the slop shop to eat with the locals. There was a ticket machine outside next to a huge table laid out with plastic model of every plate on the menu. You inserted your Yen and pressed the corresponding button and received a ticket. You took the ticket inside to the counter and sat down.
After watching it being cooked a bell rang and you were given it to eat.
They were/are very popular (cheap and nutritious).
[they think westerners are mental BTW]
Oh and they had ISDN ports at the tables in Macky Dees (Usually with the end of a french fry sticking out of them)
