浜崎あゆみ パチンコ台でもタカビー

年末にも登場すると報じられた浜崎あゆみ(29)のパチンコ台が、ここにきて発売自体が危ぶまれている。パ チスロ機が出玉規制で壊滅的打撃を受ける中、全国のホールからは「歌姫」のパチンコ台誕生に大きな期待がか けられていた。一体何が起きているのか。
「商品化が遅れているのは、浜崎サイドがキャラクター使用料を吹っ掛けすぎているのが原因のようです。同じ エイベックス所属の倖田來未のタイアップ機が6 月に発売され、13万台のヒット。強気のエイベックスが、通常は超大物でも販売価格(平均20万円)の1% 程度とされるロイヤルティーを3%程度要求し、交渉が難航しているようです」(関係者)
 商品化されれば、「海物語」「ぱちんこ必殺仕事人」シリーズに続くヒット作になる可能性があるとはいえ、 3%が“適正価格”だった頃は、遠く過ぎ去りし過去になっている。

Translation from excite:

The Ayumi Hamasaki pachinko stand is Tacabe.

Because the pachinko stand of Ayumi Hamasaki (29) reported to be appearance at the end of the year comes here, the sale is doubted. Great expectations were put from the hall in the inside and the whole country where the pinball-style slot machine machine received a fatal blow by the Detama restriction on the pachinko stand birth of "Female professional singer". What on earth has occurred?
「The Hamasaki side is like caused by the multiplication of ..blowing.. too much. the character rental late commercialization130,000 hits. be put the tie-up machine of product Tatami of the same Avex belonging on the market in JuneBullish Avex seems usually to demand that about 1% even of a super-important person of the sales price (200,000 yen on the average) be a royalty by about 3%, and to have a rough going by the negotiation. 」(parties concerned)It is far and the past of passing away that 3% was "Right price" even though there is a possibility of becoming a box office hit following "Sea story" and "Those who work the slingshot kill without fail" series if commercialized.

*If anyone can translate it, please do!! This has something to do with the pinball machine thing koda did.

*from my understanding: Ayu's pinball machine (like the one koda did- feverhall) was suppose to be launched at the end of the year? There's some problems...Avex is wanting 3% royalty for ayu's

Sorry...someone please translate!!
