X JAPAN's Pachinko Machine Cleared For Launch

This week, Japanese electronics company SANKYO announced that an agreement had been made with H&P, the company responsible for managing the image of late X JAPAN guitarist hide. With this, the heavily-publicized Fever X JAPAN pachinko machine has been officially launched. Distribution of the machines commenced on September 6th.

Widely advertised throughout Japan, the Fever X JAPAN unit includes a multitude of song clips, in addition to both all-new animated clips and brief live-action PVs recorded for the game. Attendees of the recent lives in Yokohama were given pamphlets on the history of both Sanyo's pachinko lines and X JAPAN itself. Interestingly, little mention was made of hide.
