QuoteSo apparently even numbers are bad luck in Japan?

If you are not kidding, I guess this is an odd floor elevator but many Japanese buildings, particularly those that host guests do not have a 4th floor and goes from 3 to 5 because the number 4 is pronounced the same as how the word "death" is.  The even elevator might go 2, 6, 8....
Hmm...do you live in Japan? No! Are you going to the show is Osaka? No! Half Japanese - half shmapanese!!!

I'm probably best qualified to answer this question BH:

This is most probably an odd floor elevator but many Japanese buildings, particularly those that host guests do not have a 4th floor and goes from 3 to 5 because the number 4 is pronounced the same as how the word "death" is.  The even elevator might go 2, 6, 8....

So there you have it, always a pleasure  ;)

God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

Actually I was kidding because of the 13 and the no even numbers, but I love the explanation of the number 4.   Thats great!

(My DVR just picked up the "Live at Abbey Road with Elbow.  Just thought I would mention that.  ;)  It's looking like a beautiful day.  Throw those curtains wide!

Did they cancel the second night in Tokyo?  I swear they had orignally showed two nights, the 4th and 5th.

The original announcement stated they were playing a 2nd night in Tokyo but there was no mention of it on the Japanese website promoting the show or the venue's website either so I don't think tickets ever went on sale...
